Why are you adding a 2nd to Johnny for both the Colorado and Washington deals? Neither get me overly excited with Johnny by himself let alone the Flames trading away their 2nd for the 4th straight year.
Frost and Konecny is a dream trade that I can’t see the Flyers making. I do think in a one for one trade for Konecny the Flames would lose as it would be a classic sell low for the Flames and a sell high for the Flyers so I would like there to be a plus from Philly. I can see the Flyers shutting that down right away so that’s a reason I don’t see them as a good trade partner.
I am pretty firm in my belief that if Johnny is traded it will be for a futures based package that opens up cap space for Calgary to sign Hall while adding some key pieces that are 1-2 years away from making a significant impact on the club.

I agree. I think the best scenario for the Flames would be to trade Johnny for futures provided they have a deal in place for Hall. Hall replacing Gaudreau is basically a wash in terms of player quality, and then we restock the cupboards. Win/win.
