Johnny is elite and will get back on track, stop this trade Johnny talk, recency bias at its finest.
Hasn't been spectacular for this entire season.
Not sure why he should be above criticism.

I don't want to trade Gaudreau but if I was Treliving and Florida called to give me Barkov+1st for Gaudreau... I would think about it long and hard.

Then trade Bennett+Kylington for Landeskog and 1st Round Pick for Evander Kane

Landeskog-Monahan-Frolik
Tkachuk-Barkov-Kane
Ferland-Backlund-Versteeg

Being a GM is easy peezy
It would be the Flames throwing in the 1st round pick in a Barkov for Gaudreau trade. I'd do the trade straight across in a heartbeat and put Bennett on the wing.

I would agree with you, his play has been less than impressive and definitely deserves a lot of the flack he's getting, but the trade proposals are a bit silly if you ask me.

Gaudreau is having an off... 45 games or so and people are talking about trading the guy?? I'm happy with our centre depth -- Why trade for Barkov when you have a really good 1 - 2 in Backlund and Monahan who play similar games and Bennett who is 20 and will figure it out?? Players with Johnny's toolbox are somewhat a rare commodity still though they are growing... I wouldn't be so quick to trade him even in a deal that is fair value like Johnny and pick for Barkov because I think Johnny could turn into a game breaker more so than most. This is only his 3rd year guys and first true slump of his career... Give him a bit of a break maybe?

Watching Iginla again today - he is nowhere near as slow as some would have you believe. The Avs are hot garbage, but I'll call it right now - if he comes here prior to the deadline, or signs in the off-season (he has another year in him) - he's going to perform.

...holy crap is this Avs team hot garbage though. Comeau, Colborne, Bourque, Soderberg, Mitchell...if you think having to watch Chiasson screw up a line is frustrating - try having a Chiasson or TWO on every single line you put on the ice. This team is hot trash.

Jesus Joe has just one goal since his hatty? Maybe an expansion candidate.

Soderberg doesn't belong in that list. He's a really good player, I think he's just a victim of the dumpster fire Avs. Like Iginla, Landeskog, Duchene and even MacKinnon.

Or you know...we could be patient with the player who is 2 years younger than Mantha.

I'm just saying, their prospect is really starting to show some promise and now they trade him for another struggling prospect?

But, but, but...Rene Bourque is in high demand.

according to Bob MacKenzie.

As you Centers

How is going to play the wing? You figure that one out.
Do you mean the ghost of Howe is going to play the wing?

You have to evaluate your players better then other teams, and be very careful about who you keep (and trade.)
How much value? LA has Stanley Cups because of those 2.
