Sujet: Dream scenario
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Flames22</b></div><div>As a Flames fan, that is really interesting. It gives us the right-handed second-line centre that we need, and because Hamonic is a UFA, the price is not extraordinary.

Only thing is I'm not sure what (Calgary's) management's mindset is right now. I'm not sure if they want to load up for a run this year, if they want to sell off and try again next year, or do a combination of both. Obviously whatever this mindset is could affect their decision to trade Hamonic. I think this is a good suggestion though!</div></div>

with 4 years term Johnsons a long term move
Hamonic can be replaced for a reasonable cost just acquire a guy like Gostishbhere who has 4 years term at a reasonable price . (i dont see any higher then a 1st and a top prospect or player under 25 from the roster with value like a Bennet for example would fit their system )Ghost plays both RD and LD giving CGY options and ownership to 2/5 NHL D capable of playing both sides in a top 4 capacity productively.

Johnson would be a good fit for you guys and he's a playoff performer who before Point was a roster member was top 3 TBL scoring in the post season between Kucherov and Stamkos .

Sujet: Monahan is a 2C Backlund is a 3C
Yes Backlund should be playing 3C, that was the entire purpose of going after Kadri in the off season. Its not necessarily that Monahan is the teams current 1C that is the issue. Its more that a team needs both center depth and balance. By moving Lindholm to 1/2C split with Monahan it gave the team center depth but opened up a massive hole on the right wing. Before Robinson was brought up Calgary was 1 of only 2 teams in the league without a right handed winger in the line up (because Czarnak is in Stockton and both Ryan and Lindy are down the middle). The other being Detroit and they aren't exactly having a hot year.

More or less the point I'm making is a team doesn't need an elite status center to succeed (17-18 Vegas, 18-19 Sharks, Carolina, Nashville, Arizona, Columbus, Philly, Tampa, NYI). Last year the Gaudreau - Monahan - Lindholm line was one of the most successful in the NHL, right up next to Colorado's and Boston's in terms of production and chemistry. However the teams secondary scoring was certainly an issue and it clearly showed when the first line struggled at the beginning of this year. Backlund taught Tkachuk how to play a good 2-way game but Chucky still had to solo carry that line all season offensively.

Over the next 3 weeks Treliving has a couple options; he can look for a new right handed replacement for the Monahan line, or he can bank on bringing in a 2C (ideally right handed) like JGP to play with Tkachuk and Mango and put Lindholm back on the RW

If the team can move forward with a line up as follows and get its synergy working again the team should succeed
Gaudreau - Monahan - New RHW/Lindholm
Tkachuk - New 2C/Lindholm -Mangiapane
Dube - Backlund - Bennett (unless traded for above piece)
Lucic - Ryan - Rieder
