If you make hypothetical trade proposals like that in the interview, you don't get a second.

Ok, I'll succumb to this boredom.

IMO, I think Treliving could be creative.

Treliving: "Hi Johnny, thanks for coming to this meeting with us."

Johnny: "Hi Brad. Umm... why is Chiarelli here?"

Treliving: "We you see, we have Red contract, or a Blue contract. You take the blue contract, the story ends. You wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red contract, you stay in Wonderland, and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes."


Or I guess he can tell Johnny to ride pine next season because he's not offer sheet eligible?

Totally benign

Sadly the Oilers set the market on this type of player at a #4 Dman

I don't get it

I rolled in a quote from the Matrix. Tried to roll in something Edmonton is no good...

I probably shouldn't have allowed myself to succumb to boredom though.


I think I should request thispostisterrible's attention to that post.

end of list. I'm being deadly serious.

No amount of throw-ins or picks would suffice. Give me an equally great player at the same age and we'll talk, otherwise, nope nope nope.

I agree with the point you're making: you only trade him one-for-one

Any 'package' is a quality for quantity trade and is an automatic loss for the team.

Hall's return was a function of the fact that the Oilers had no choice. I think it also a function of the fact that Chia had determined that Hall was part of the problem in the room , and he was, shall we say, motivated to move him.

There is no need to trade Gaudreau. And the team structure isn't flawed. So if you were to trade him - AND THERE IS NO WAY IN HELL THAT HE IS ACTUALLY TRADED - but if you were, the only sensible trade is a one-for-one for another young star of similar caliber and value.

Johnny is going to have a great year ... Teams will no longer be able to focus entirely on him due to better 2nd and 3rd lines. I see him finishing top three in scoring as long he or his line mates don't get hurt 😀

The problem here is that the scenario is just not very feasible. There is a massive difference between a hockey player who "misses home" and one who is determined to play there. The OP used Hamonic's trade request from early in the 2015–16 season as an analog, but this situation is not really applicable since 1) Hamonic's request was prompted by an illness in his family, and 2) he ultimately rescinded that trade request when things at home improved. The OP is so broadly construed that we may as well insert the name of every other player on the Flames roster:

Maintaining Monahan,Bennett And Gaudreau along with our latest potential star draft pick is not really feasible if all pan out the way some see on here. The topic is a fair one to discuss just as much as any other.

Again, there is a world of difference between a player "wanting to go home," and a player who actually takes steps to play closer to home. I am fairly certain that virtually every player would prefer to play close to their home, especially in their late-teens and early-twenties. But how many of these players with RFA
status actually take the initiative to get there? Has there ever been a single player to do so? This is something that occasionally happens with UFA players, but that itself is an entirely different situation.

Whether or not the Flames are able to retain all their young stars is another matter entirely, and not really worth speculating about at this stage. In the scenario you propose it is not something that will need to be addressed until near the end of Tkachuk's ELC, which is at least three years away. So much can and will happen in the space of three years that it makes the point entirely futile.

Edit- and no where in his post did he mention a timeline. It's simply a what if at anytime. People reading it as if it's a hold out hypothetical that Johnny won't sign unless he's traded are the ones creating that storyline not the OP.

Well, it may not have been explicitly stated, but the implication is sure there in the OP that this is a discussion about a trade in the event of a contract impasse or a holdout:

Of course, it is possible that Gaudreau is eventually traded, but how can anyone even speculate about his trade value in a potential deal that might be two or three years away? No. The OP clearly had in mind a discussion about Gaudreau's current trade value in the potential event that he and the Flames are unable to come to terms on a new contract this autumn.

[Gaskal]

OP has a history of wanting to trade Gaudreau, so I don't take this thread seriously at all

[Shazam]

Where the hell did all this "Johnny wants to live near home!" crap come from?

Is that only true of Johnny or for every player? If so when the hell is Monahan getting traded to Toronto?

His mom in interviews talking about how Calgary is so far and what not. Combine that with it being September in 6 days and people are starting to worry.

[Looch City]

I heard Gaudreau is a cancer in the locker room.

Please trade him.

[topfiverecords]

Toews, Kane, Keith, and a time machine.

[PepsiFree]

Everyone is fired who didn't automatically include Gostisbehere.

[StrykerSteve]

I fail to see what's so wrong about hypothetical trade threads like this. What's the big deal?

So, let's play. Would have to be a young player that's already proven themselves as a stud.

Filip Forsberg
Nathan MacKinnon
Mark Stone
Alexander Barkov
Aaron Ekblad

Guys of that ilk.

[GranteedEV]

Out of spite I would still not send him to the Flyers.

If the kid did demand a trade I'd make sure he's not getting what he wants. Make him give a list of 5 teams and pick the worst one.
