			I think Giridn is just as good as Hage, and I wouldn't trade them for one another.  
 
 
At this point, I see 3 'core' future Flames so far: 
#1 franchise goalie - Wolf 
#1 deencemen - Parekh 
1st line scoring winger  - Gridin 
 
 
Unless there is significant gains, I wouldn't trade any of these for any other prospect. The Flames will need as many top-end prospects as possible coming out of the rebuild.  So unless someone asks for a trade, I would prefer to keep them all. 
 
 
Gridin out-produced Hage at the same age in the same league FWIW.  He also led his team in scoring by a greater gap.  Now they are both scoring at roughly the same clip (small sample sizes, however!), but the AHL is a much more difficult league than the NCAA is.  Both players are roughly th same size too.   
 
 
I would add on top of Kadri to acquire Hage, but Gridin is worth Hage straight across, even accounting for position. I doubt Montreal does either. They need Kadri until Hage can supplant Kadri in their line-up - 2-3 seasons from now.  That's what makes Kadri a perfect fit for Montreal. 
 
 
However, I didn't think Nelson was worth anywhere close to the package he went for.  With the shortage of centers right now driving up the price on Kadri, I would expect a similar price that Colorado overpaid for Nelson.  I would think a 1st + Top Prospect.  Even with Kadri's NTC, I think there will be a healthy bidding war.

So could Hage. I raved about him in his draft year. I think he has top C potential, I would absolutely trade Gridin for him and I think very highly of Gridin.

That's precisely what we need for the left side. A Noah Hanifin.

Conroy is big fish hunting and there are a lot of fish.
 
So, trade Andersson and maybe Kadri and ensure we get the C and LD back that we need.
 
If we can trade Kadri for Hage (or equivalent) then I would feel a lot better about trading Andersson for Bischel+.  (Trading Kadri wasn't on my bingo card so Andersson really needed to go for a potential top 6 C)

You didn't get your decoder in the mail? Better ask Sec, I thought he sent them to everyone.

Salary retention. Take away the risk for the Habs if he declines right when they are a contender.

The Habs say no. You are not getting Hage for a salary retained Kadri. I'm sure the Habs would be interested in Kadri if they continue to play well but they are not parting with Hage.
