Sujet: Gaudreau and Meier
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>stacksOFFstacks</b></div><div>Elaborate on why Calgary would be thrilled about this. What micro, macro, or eye test stats indicate AT ALL, that Meier is worth Johnny?</div></div>

A 23yr old RW that can score you a minimum of 20 and plays with an edge. There's also cost certainty, you get him for 3 seasons at 6 and after that he's still an RFA, so worst case scenario you get 4 years of control. The Flames can keep Gaudreau, whatever the value is now, it drops once the puck drops in 20/21. He says he would stay in CGY his whole career, maybe that's true, but there have been rumblings he wasn't happy with his last negotation. He will demand 9+ from the Flames to stay. Maybe I'm an idiot, but I'd rather have a 25yr old making 6 than an undersized forward in his 30's making close to double digits in a relatively flat cap world.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Different_Perspective_85</b></div><div>I like the idea in theory. That said, it won't happen for all the other factors people rarely address that go into how these tend to go. For starters, they won't exceed their internal cap ie. $7 million AAV set by Tkatchuk. I also am fairly confident CGY is on the bottom half of desired locations and we don't have a McDavid or a winning history to attract FA's so all in all I just don't think it's realistic.</div></div>

If the Flames want Hall or Pietrangelo, they have to spend more than 7 on them. Who knows if that's the case. Maybe CGY isn't the most attractive place to play, but free agents typically always go to the team that pays them the most, if the Flames do it, they have a chance.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Marino4Norris</b></div><div>He’s still worth his deal, that’s the amount he would get in free agency

A player being older and having a higher cap number doesn’t automatically make them a cap dump

He’s signed for three more seasons, not until he’s 40

He might not be great the last year but he would produce as a #2RW on Calgary for at least two seasons</div></div>

Taking on a Hornqvist will significantly hamper the Flames chances to keep Gaudreau and to extend Tkachuk. You have to remember that they already have 5.2 mill wasted on Lucic and another 3 in buyouts. They aren’t in any position to take on players that aren’t playing to their contracts. Mangiapane can put up the same numbers or better for far cheaper than Hornqvist
