But another data point that points to maybe a trade will be how this situation ends being more likely, which is making people sad Pandas. Understandably so.

I'd rather they have more time to get the best trade they can, then have a three day window to work the market in more of a panic.

Totally agree.

I'd rather have a known quantity, player with tons of intangibles and is a 75-100 point player than hopes 5 years down the line and maybe a lesser player today. But I do agree trades are fun!

Lindholm must be wondering if his feet stink or something.

Agreed. But shouldn't the team have come to this conclusion a long time ago? Things shouldn't be going down to the last minute on every important issue. That's a red flag IMO.

That said the US/UK/EU are also not happy places to live at the moment.

Found the Rogan fan.


This stuff is just silly. Is it surprising that someone would rather play where they're from, where they grew up, if they had the opportunity to make it happen? Doesn't surprise me at all. On the flip side I miss the days where players seemed to enjoy playing for a fan base and wanted to win.

Who cares. You are going to get your best offers at the deadline whenever it is.

Watch Tre trade Tkachuk straight up for Parayko lol

I'd have to make popcorn before coming here

But why make that assumption?

The Flames talked to Gaudreau all last summer, didn't like where it was going and made a collective call to stay the course and not trade him.

I'd assume they've been discussing long term contracts with Tkachuk as well, getting a feel, plotting a course.

Highly possible that his camp wanted to see where Gaudreau went first. They may have looked at moving him last summer but didn't like the return, as they did with Gaudreau. Could have also looked at moving him at the draft.

If it comes to light that Treliving was asleep at the wheel, didn't understand the timelines, and that the ownership didn't ask any questions and the whole thing just slid off the cliff I'll push you out of the way in getting to the front of the pissed off line.

But most of that is unlikely so why use it as a basis of logic or fact to base an argument?

I think if Gaudreau stayed then Tkachuk would have been more open to staying on a 5 year deal or something.

I sure do

[CroFlames]

What is Tkachuk worth at this moment? 1st + player + prospect? Or does he need a contract before he's worth that much?

Cool. I don't doubt it.



But I'll stay away from anymore discussion on it in this thread, I probably shouldn't have made the comment.

Depends on how the 1st projects, depends on what player, also depends on the prospect

I think it depends what the Flames plan is. If they want a player that can play now or picks and prospects.

I think Tkachuk is probably worth 2 1st's + if he is willing to sign with the new team.

Statistically a lot of people here are below average intelligence as well.

Doesn't mean anything

Ya I probably shouldn't have responded either. Just derails an interesting thread.

Maybe they ask for Kyrou and O'Reilly.
