One sign and trade I have wondered about with Johnny would be to the Bruins for Debrusk? Flames get a solid top 6 forward to sign Johnny to the 10x8 deal and Boston clears space to bring him in? Not something I want to happen but something I have wondered about with teams without cap space trying to get into the bidding for Johnny

Jesus Christ that is gruesome. Imagine of Treleving signed the most popular player who is our star and then flipped him for DeBrusk? I would lead the lynch mob. I don't see any scenario of a sign and trade anyhow, hell if JG signs a contract with the Flames no matter if he wanted a sign and trade you still keep him or you trade him for a hell of a lot more than DeBrusk. Nothing says if you sign him to trade him you have to do it right away.
