Sujet: If brad had a brain
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Ledge_And_Dairy</b></div><div>Im not talking about the trade above specifically. But Krebs vs Zary is highly debatable, and Monahan has a 10 team NTC only

Agreed. I can’t believe Treliving couldn’t find a way to get this done. A 3-way deal is a bit more complex, but it’s definitely not impossible to pull off to move Monahan somewhere else.

You had one job, Brad. He’s either too lazy to turn over every possible rock to get Eichel, or not competent to pull of the 3-way deal to get this done. Either way, it’s brutal for CGY fans. VGK has ponied up for Stone and Eichel while Brad just watches. A division rival has those two guys for the next 5+ years.

Would he have paid more if CGY was 4-5-0 to start the season? Yeah, probably. A 9-game sample size probably impacted his offer. And that is just bogus.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Tjm220</b></div><div>Dumping White’s contract is a net positive for Ottawa, Tierney is a one year rental. They are included to make the money work.</div></div>

I get that. But after the Dvorak deal, OTT probably thinks White is worth a late first rounder or more if he can put up 40+ points this season, which is possible. And OTT has cap space to play with. Plus, Tierney is a solid 3C depth veteran that this OTT team needs to have around if they are trying to move out of rebuild/tank status this season.

Feel free to disagree, but my view is that OTT internally believes that Brady and a top 15 1st rounder in a deep draft is going to be worth more than Eichel. And they might be wrong, or they might be right. Either way, I’m betting they wouldn’t make a Brady + 1st + ______ trade for Eichel.

Sujet: If Brady wants out which offer is better
The betting odds have to be a 3-year deal just like Matthew here. Ends with a juicy $9M+ qualifying offer and UFA status at the end, when the cap has had a chance to recover. And gives the player 3 years to prove he’s worth a massive extension, which he will earn.

The Tkachuks are rare breeds that every single team wants on their roster. And their agent knows what he’s doing to give them both maximum optionality in deciding their future.

Teams will line up around the block with bags of cash for Matthew and Brady if/when they become UFA. Signing $8M x 8 years leaves a ridiculous sum of money on the table for Brady, and also closes the door to him picking another team in 3 years (should he want to leave). Optionality = major value here.

$7M x 3 years seems like the only option.

Sujet: Is Monahan actually available
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ConnorMcHellebucyk</b></div><div>i respect you a lot but Monahan has not been playing like a 1C since 18-19. his WAR is around 63 percent. hes a solid 2C. but nowhere near Eichel level. this boston trade is fair price but it does nothing for the flames so they certainly decline.</div></div>

The point Ledge is making here is that CGY shouldn’t trade Monahan unless they are targeting a second trade that improves them at C. Nowhere on this site in the history of ever has anyone tried to say Monahan is on par with Eichel.

CGY should definitely be exploring options to upgrade over Monahan, and CGY has the assets to be a top bidder for Eichel. Monahan would have to move to make that deal work. Unfortunately, I think Treliving is also thinking that keeping Monahan and hoping he can play a full season without injury will improve his value — and he’d also be a decent 2C.

Flames fans want to see more change for the roster, however. And rightly so.

Sujet: Lines with Zadorov and Valimaki signings
It would be amazing if Pelletier came into camp and won that 3LW spot.

I would be surprised if the Hanifin/Tanev pairing got split up. And for that reason, I’m expecting Zadorov to play 2LD with Andersson, which leaves Valimaki + Mackey/Stone/Kylington for bottom pair duty. Not optimal for Valimaki’s development…

My hope is Valimaki and Andersson come to camp at another level and gives Sutter the clear option to roll:

Hanifin - Andersson
Valimaki - Tanev
Mackey/Kylington - Zadorov

I always prefer to see shut down Dmen (Tanev, Zadorov) paired with offensive guys who can skate well.

Fingers crossed for some improvements across the board from CGY’s younger guys this summer.

And of course, it would be a GD travesty if Treliving didn’t pay the fair price to bring Eichel in.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Ledge_And_Dairy</b></div><div>You overpaid all the RFAs quite a lot

Froese will be in the AHL all season and Ritchie probably a scratch</div></div>

Agree on all of the above except: I wouldn’t be surprised to see Sutter use a Lucic-Lewis-Ritchie 4th line. He likes Ritchie and trusts Lewis, so I expect Ritchie to get playing time ahead of Gawdin on the 4th line unless Gawdin comes to camp and shows a solid improvement from last season.

Not a huge tweak, but I wouldn’t be surprised to see it.

+ the lines shown in this post are not what’s going to happen. Mangiapane will not be playing 3rd line minutes. Dube won’t be 1st line minutes. And I would be very, very surprised if Gaudreau-Lindholm-Tkachuk don’t start together again.

Sujet: Only Way Eichel Can Work
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Ledge_And_Dairy</b></div><div>How much of a raise do you think the 3 of them would get combined? I dont think its more than 5M</div></div>

If CGY makes the Eichel deal and keeps JG, Tkachuk, and Mangiapane (optimal to keep all three of course), then I expect contracts going forward are:

Gaudreau: $8.5M AAV x 5-8 years
Tkachuk: $8.5M AAV x 4-6 years
Mangiapane: $5M AAV x 3-6 years
Total AAV increase = $5.825M

Yes, Tkachuk has a $9M QO level. My hope here is that he would see playing with Eichel and Gaudreau makes one of the best lines in hockey and agree to sign a slight discount.

I wouldn’t be at all surprised if the total increase from current AAV for these 3 players ends up closer to $6.375M (ie. Gaudreau $8.5M, Tkachuk $9M, Mangiapane $5.5M)

And in the latter case, CGY would have to look at shedding a chunk of salary elsewhere to make it work. Backlund or Lucic are the prime candidates in that case…

Sujet: Eichel
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Theozler</b></div><div>Only piece I really hated giving was tuch but only way salary works…they do need a c though only other one I can think of is maybe hertl</div></div>

Hertl would be a perfect fit for VGK, IMO.

VGK has been an excellent/deep playoff contender with their Top 6, even without the bonafide elite 1C. It’s because they have a great mix of responsible wingers (Stone, Tuch, Reilly, Marchessault, Pacioretty, etc) to complement decent centers…and all of that in front of a top notch D core and goalies.

I view the package above as the equivalent of 5-6 first round picks (and more). Imagine what Tuch or Reilly yield on the trade market in single deals…and then add those values to Krebs + 1st + 1st. It’s too big of a price, and I personally don’t think it makes the team any better right now.

Better off making 1-2 smaller moves instead of trying to win the Eichel sweepstakes while “dumping” good salaries and weakening the forward depth.
