I knocked those buffalo proposals but they sure beat the hell out of those Columbus ones by scorpion. Jesus.

I'm a little enamored by the idea of grabbing Anderson myself, but as the return for a Jankowski or Bennett trade, not ####ing Gaudreau.

Only way he goes this early is if its a for a kings ransom that is difficult to turn down. So start brainstorming trades that fit that description.

This isn't the end of his ufa year where the flames are desperate to take whatever they can. Right now they have tons of leverage and the ability to remain patient.

It has to be bordering on tantalizing where an overall win for the Flames down the road is conceivable. Meaning in this package we could have a guy that provides more for our ability to win than gaudreau in a few years.

Not a team's dump truck of MEH and their expendable assets.

Gaudreau is like a vital organ to the make up of this roster so whatever is coming back should have similar value to that team from a prospect/futures standpoint.
