Johnny wouldn’t have been close as I doubt they had any serious interest in a guy who likely would have no interest in staying. Calgary had no one like Roslovic, a local boy who likely will thrive and sign long term in Columbus.
Calgary would have had to do a serious overbid to match the intangibles involved in that trade.

Well Tkachuk and Laine are close based on draft position and success out of the gate. But seeing as how they had to add Roslovic, the Flames would have to go Mangiapane or Dube and they might not even be equivalent value.
It would have been a huge gamble too, since PLD is still so unfinished.
