What a cluster#### of a lineup that would be!

Haha, well if you're not a fan of Domi then of course you wouldn't be all that happy with that center depth. But a center of Domi's ability is really the only option I can see being possible in a Gaudreau trade. That's why I'm partial to a complete rebuild providing Treliving is able to get high end futures in return for our core players. Alas, I don't see the Flames going that route, and a guy like Domi would at least provide some serious jam up front to go along with speed and skill. If the Flames keep Bennett, he and Domi could be gritty, speedy in your face pair of Cs to go up against. I'm not against Domi myself, I'd just rather find another way to get him as opposed to him being part of a Gaudreau return.

The only way that a Domi trade makes sense is if the Flames are serious about trading Monahan. Centre depth of Backlund, Domi, Bennett, Ryan would be unique in the league for being extraordinarily difficult to play against.
No interest in Poehling.
Domi, 16th, 61st, and Noah Juulsen, sign me up.

Two problems with Juulsen. 1. Didn't he just most of the season with a concussion? 2. He's not expansion exempt, so if he comes to Calgary and is actually good, they would have a hard time protecting him.
But yeah, in a bublle I would love to add either him or Cale Fleury, they are both good young RHD dmen.
