Hischier is hopefully a Couturier level player who can get Selke nominations and put up 70+pts.
If the Flames could get Hischier and 7 for Monahan and Gaudreau I think that would be a fantastic deal for the org if the game plan is retool while remaining competitive. It frees up $6M to sign Hall and goes from 26 year old Centre to a guy that won’t be 22 until 2021.
The 7 pick is a great asset as well. Personally I think Gusev and Wood are asking too much.

I think that the expectations on a 1st overall pick are much higher. Like it's sort of like, if Hischier was a 24th overall pick or something and had the same career, maybe he would be seen as more promising because he surpassed expectations?
