Conditional second round pick/could be a 1st if they make the conference finals.

Would've been a perfect fit for the Flames.......

[Badgers Nose]

Bummer. That's good for an already good team.

[tkflames]

Could be a 1st subject to the Russell rule.

Conditional second round pick for a player who has already scored 21 goals?

Umm....... We couldn't throw them a guaranteed second round pick?

It's a conditional first, really. Same conditions as the Russell pick from last year.

If Anaheim goes to the conference finals and Eaves plays 50% of games it's Ana's first rounder.

Here are the conditions on the draft pick Dallas gets back from Anaheim in Patrick Eaves deal. Could become a first-rounder:

[Incogneto]

COndition is that its a 1st if the Ducks go to the Conf Final and Eaves plays 50% of the games. AKA the Russell Condition.

I'd jump all over that if it means we made the conference finals....

As much as Eaves would have been a good edition, I still think Treliving is working on another fish (Kane or Nyquist maybe)

[CorsiHockeyLeague]

He has 21 goals this year, but seems to be mostly a power play guy.

A guaranteed 2nd for a rental?

We are not a contender who can spend those kind of assets to gear up for a playoff push at this time. I think the 3rd+5th for Stone is about the highest that Treliving is willing to go - and a #4 dman was a very pressing need.

Eaves is definitely a nice name, but not someone I would be willing to spend a 2nd on.

Maybe we did offer that but Dallas decided to take Anaheim's offer because they think the Ducks have a better chance.

21 goals playing with some pretty great players

Yeah I can't imagine the price was too high for Treliving.

Hopefully that means they're eyeing a bigger fish.

[Flash Walken]

Would not pay a 2nd for Eaves on this flames team.

Good non-trade if the Flames were involved.

[cannon7]

This season is an anomaly in Eaves' career, and he certainly doesn't play with the "edge" the Flames are supposedly looking for.

[dino7c]

Dallas probably wouldn't expect the Flames to knock out the Wild and then the Hawks

had we made the same offer

I am curious as to learn why not? A team in the playoff race.. why would you not pay a 2nd rounder for a 21 goal scorer.

because the Flames aren't really a cup contender

[Phaneufenstein]

Seems like overpayment to me especially if this becomes a 1st rounder.

This is almost Gaustad return territory.
