No doubt this would be against popular opinion on CP (yeah, i've seen all the gifs and fan shops), but lets not forget Treliving's/Burke's Mandate to get bigger and stronger. Keeping a 5'9", 150 pound Johnny is contradictory to their message.

I'd hate to see him get hurt later in the season and have his trade value diminish. Trading him now or within the next 10 games would be the best scenario for the Flames. Although waiting till the trade deadline would maximize a return, it's always risky when you have a player as small as him to remain healthy. Imagine getting a 1st rounder (and possibly more) from a guy we drafted in the 4th round

Which would be the team Johnny could fit well with and what would be a realistic return from that team?

Discuss!
