Alright, will never happen but there is something mentally satisfying about blowing this team sky high after yet another season ending debacle last night...

Trade #1 at the draft:

To Ottawa - Matthew Tkachuk, Sam Bennett
To Calgary - Colin White, Josh Norris, 3rd overall, NYI 1st rounder, 33rd overall

This one is gonna piss some people off, but the goal in a blow up would be to make sure the next "era" actually has elite cup contending center depth.

Trade #2 at the draft:

To Buffalo - Sean Monahan, Noah Hanifin
To Calgary - Kyle Okposo (cap dump duh), Brandon Montour, William Borgen, Dylan Cozens, 8th overall

Trade #3 off season:

To Philly - Johnny Gaudreau, Oliver Kylington, Mark Jankowski
To Calgary - Oscar Lindblom, Travis Sanheim, Nolan Patrick

Trade #4 off season:

To NYI - Mark Giordano ($3,375,000 - 50% retained)
To Calgary - Thomas Hickey, Oliver Wahlstrom

With the retention combined with Hickey @ $2.5 million AAV the Isles would be replacing Hickey with Gio for $875k against the cap, same term. That's gotta worth a decent prospect no?

The draft trades are done on the draft floor when the Flames know Quinton Byfield is available at #3 and Jake Sanderson is available at #8.

Flames also pick 19th overall, early 20's with the Isles pick, 33rd overall (Sens) and 45th overall (Flames), plus a bunch of other mid and late round picks.

Key C prospects added:

Cozens, Byfield, Patrick, Norris

If you don't end up with a Cup contending center core from this then I don't know what to say.....

"Tank" roster for the next season:

Lindblom - Backlund - Lindholm (That's a SWEet line)
Mangiapane - Ryan - White
Dube - Nolan - Okposo
Lucic - Norris - Wahlstrom


Cozens and Byfield back to dominate juniors and the world juniors COVID pending
Ryan is a rental at the deadline
Backlund's NTC becomes limited during the next off season

Sanheim - Andersson
Hickey - Montour
Valimaki - Borgen

Sanderson and Mackey in the system

Rittich

Ritter the only NHL goalie signed, try to trade for Georgiev maybe?

Anyways, there is like $16 million of cap space left so I'd also try to get more assets by taking on cap dumps like the following:

Alzner from MTL
Bjugsadt from PIT

etc...
