Flames offered all 3 1st rounders to the Avs for the First Overall Pick

They said no, according to Elliot Friedman.

Thank god!

Can we fire Feaster yet?

[lifetimefan]

Maybe this is part of Feaster's scorched earth plan.

[jammies]

Fire Bertuzzied!

[flylock shox]

Thank you Colorado.

Again.

I like it and wish the Avs had taken it. Id offer it to Florida as well if we could land McKinnon.

[CliffFletcher]

If it's such a bad deal, why did the Avs turn it down?

[Red John]

Going to play a bit of devils advocate here and mention that MacKinnon is one of the strongest top picks in a while. He has legitimate superstar potential. He is better than Taylor Hall, Hopkins, and Yakupov the last three top picks. He has Stamkos/Tavares upside.

This would certainly be the year to attempt a trade like that.

The problem here is the Flames have so few assets in the organization that they can ill afford to move three blue chippers to get one better one.

They really have the chance to pump some life into the pipeline of their organization with three top prospects and they should probably do that, even if they get a Logan Couture type player at 6 in Monahan, instead of a Stamkos.

[mustache ride]

I would be fine with that trade!

[Street Pharmacist]

Not a bad offer. Don't know what the hand wringing is about

[jar_e]

Geezus CP is a fickle bunch. We all bitch and moan that we aren't doing enough to acquire quality assets, you have an opportunity to trade up and draft arguably one in a decade player and we want to fire feaster.

[Yoho]

This will make it a bit tougher draft day to say" Lindholm was the guy the Flames were targeting all along"

[FlamesAddiction]

I'd take that from the Flames perspective, easily.
