It's going to be a tough day for smany teams when the draft is announced as some are going to lose pretty good players. If the Golden Knights were to take Brouwer off the Flames hands it would be like Christmas in the summer as freeing up his $4 million could make things much easier in rounding out the blue line.

[FlamesAddiction]

If Vegas picks up Raanta, I would give our 1st rounder for him and the Vegas 2nd round pick. Then the Flames could swing for the fences with a high risk, high reward pick like Ostap Safin in the 2nd round.

as long as it isn't us.

Playing off 960 today, I wonder what Jersey would want for Schneider. They are going to have to do a complete rebuild, so they don't need him.

Who fits this bill from the Yotes?

@NYP_Brooksie
Unless NYR get no doubt first-pair right D for Stepan, would not make deal. Already have 2d pair guy in Smith if they will pay market $.

Chychrun & OEL are both LHD, but I can't see either being entertained for Stepan tbh.

Those great finds don't happen in June or July. Stick with Elliot and Johnson - who frankly backstopped a mediocre team with its best players playing below potential for significant stretches of the season - into the playoffs.

In other words there is no rush. We should be able to get off to a better start and continue to build from within.

I agree with this, we are not ready to contend yet and our goalie coach sucks, so no point in wasting assists on goaltending, right now.

I'm guessing they would want Bennett. The purpose of trading Schneider would be to help with the young talent pool. They'd also probably want Gillies as a potential starter down the road.
Calgary might also have to throw in the first round pick or Frolik.

Schneider's salary might make things a bit more complicated. The Flames might need to send some money the other way.

Calgary would have to overpay to get Schneider. Would it be worth it? Yeah, I think so. He would make a gigantic difference in terms of team success.

Bennett
Gillies
2017 or 2018 First Round Pick

Schneider

Yes, this is a lot to pay. But the Flames would have to pry Schneider out of there.
I could also see Frolik being offered, to make the salaries even out.

Bennett
Frolik (modified NTC)
Gillies

Schneider

The Flames' top 6 would be quite a bit weaker without Frolik and Bennett. However, they would likely still have enough cap space to sign a top 6 winger in free agency. With Versteeg re-signed, the Flames might be okay.

I could be (and probably am) completely off, I'm just kicking off some actual trade proposal ideas.
I'm guessing a lot of people here would not want to part with Bennett, Gillies AND Frolik/1 Round Pick. But I highly doubt New Jersey would be willing to take anything less.

Where do you draw any where near this value for schnieder...

[Roof-Daddy]

Schneider was dealt for 9th OA straight up when he was 27.

Hes 4 years older and coming off a poor season.

If thats the cost I dont want him. 16th overall and a good prospect is enough.

That cost I would likely pay for an extended Carey Price but not for Schneider.

[Love]

Imagine even trading Bennett straight up for Schneider, let alone adding more assets lol

[Erick Estrada]

The Devils have never stated they are tearing things down and rebuilding as they have Hall, Palmieri, Henrique, Severson, Zacha all under 30 and in their prime or up and coming. As a bonus they will likely draft a player first overall that may be a cornerstone player. They don't have a perfect roster by any means but I don't think that's a market that will embrace a tear down as the Devils will try to do this on the fly and they may be able to pull it off but not without Schneider.

Horrible trade proposal. Goalies don't hold as much value as you think. Especially one who is about to decline.

Spoke with a GM yesterday who was guessing that Vegas already had 3 1st-RD picks in their back pocket with more picks to come before Wed

CBJ and maybe ducks? They're going to have a bunch of solid prospects at the very least.
