That trade would set the Flames back 5-10 years.

I guess I’m gunshy on homering trades the other way; on the forums it seems that the trade suggestions are either ‘laughably bad’ for us or ‘there is no way they would do that’ type reactions. What’s the middle ground?? It would be nice to talk about suggestions that way as opposed to always having them scoffed at for being too good or too bad for the flames.
I had originally typed it out as:
Tkachuk + Jankowski for 3rd overall + 5th overall + White
But i deleted that thinking it was too much in our favour.
I went with 3rd (Byfield, potential top 6 centre) and Colin White (23 YO right handed centre who still has growth) because the Flames were signing Hall in my scenario and we are left wing Heavy.
Is Tkachuk + Janko for 3rd + 5th + White closer??
To put it in perspective I was talking about this with a friend who is a Leafs fan and he said if Calgary wanted the 3rd and 5th it would cost them Tkachuk and Gaudreau which is obviously laughable as well.
Can we not talk about/build on suggestions though rather than taking big dumps on them? Would prove to be a more enjoyable thread at least for myself... haven’t been posting much because covid has taken the joys of sports away and getting a response like that after not posting for months is probably going to make me just not bother logging in for a bit but Wte.
