Seriously the offer is not great but with some of the proposals on here, I think we're setting ourselves up for disappointment. Cozens and a 1st? Konecny? Point?? Bit of a pipe dream. I'm not disputing that that may be "fair value", I'm only saying that the team trading a superstar rarely gets full value in return.
Honestly if we can use the Pacioretty trade as a framework and get a solid prospect like Suzuki in return, plus some other pieces (like a top 6 winger and a pick), I think that's a fairly realistic expectation. If Tre can get something like Cozens + 1st, I would be pleasantly surprised.

I've been a vocal as anyone about the expectations of a return for Johnny, but comparing him to Pacioretty is foolish.
When/if Calgary trades Johnny, they likely won't be looking to take back any meaningful cap hit, and certainly won't be looking to take an a older, more expensive and lesser player.
The basic problem in the article was using the Pacioretty trade as a framework. Apples and oranges.
