What do you want the Flames to do at the Deadline?

[Canada 02]

target Trochek, Dumba, Kapanen, Reinhart, or Ristolainen in hockey trades. Will get one

Team traded Frolik to clear up cap space...don't pull a Feaster

Yep, especially after he went full Feaster and called his shot saying he would use it.

[zamler]

Nothing.

[oldschoolcalgary]

i think calgary should sell, however, I expect them to do nothing.

I mean if there is a hockey trade out there, like for Trochek, you'd have to pull the trigger... trading picks for a rental would be a bad decision imho

[troutman]

Accumulate draft picks. Always.

As opposed to some sort of other trade I guess? Does it just mean no draft picks? Sorry probably a stupid question but not as convinced the question is as stupid as the expression.

I would consider a hockey trade one that is built around NHL talent rather than built around picks and prospects. That's not to say picks and prospects can't be in a hockey trade, but they would be a sweetener, rather than the main course.

The rumored Brodie/Kadri trade would have been a good example of a hockey trade.

hanifin + Lindholm for Hamilton, Ferland + Fox was a very good hockey trade too...

Another great example as Fox was used as a sweetener in that deal.

[VladtheImpaler]

Trade a mid/low pick for some RW depth. Mikael Frolik seems like the perfect candidate. Added bonus - no adjustment period.

[GullFoss]

If Tre can get a first for Hamonic, I'd say make that trade.


Also, I would blow up the farm for Kopitar. The guy is still a beast and the flames can make that contract fit. He solves the Franchise Center problem and gives the flames amazing depth. I would assume Janko (and a bunch of picks and prospects) goes back the other way. The cap savings from trading Hamonic, frolik and Janko would be ~$8m so king's would have to retain a bit to make it work, but going into the playoffs with Kopitar, Monahan, Backlund and Ryan would be cup contending stuff.

Flame would have to pay a King's Ransom, but at some point Tre may have to pull something like this off for the flames to become true contenders. Fortune favors the bold

[heep223]

Buy. Go for it.

For sure, I'd like that. Thought he was the least embarrassing player vs the Ayres Canes last night too.

[TheRealPepman]

Buy baby. Maybe that will make Calgary elite again.

Will support whatever happens at the end of tomorrow.

[ForeverFlameFan]

They can do whatever, as long as the 2020 1st round pick stays within the organization.

[GranteedEV]

Lucic for Okposo. Do it Brad.

[VANFLAMESFAN]

I get those who have the desire to buy.

I get those who have the the desire to stand pat or slightly tinker for some depth.

I just don’t get those who want to sell sell sell. I’m not blind to the teams struggles and how they’re likely not to make a run but to give up at this point when they have a decent shot to make playoffs Is beyond me. They’re waking up tomorrow in a playoff spot. They’re waking up Tuesday in a playoff spot but people want to make the team worse by selling?

They’re not selling off assets that will net first round picks or top tier game changing prospects. They’re just not at this point. So the ones to sell tomorrow are gonna get you mid level assets at best. Are those mid level assets more valuable than a shot at the playoffs? With the weak ass pacific division, do you not want to see what they can do? Do you not remember how much April sucks when your team is not in the mix? Playoffs are so much fun, the anticipation for each game is so much better than the excitement around a 3rd or 4th round pick.

Just don’t get the people who want to sell sell sell tomorrow. Not saying they’re wrong, and I’m right. Just saying I don’t get having the sentiment of throwing in the towel on a season that is clearly not over.

[Dragomir]

Do nothing please

So much speed and he’s gritty and physical. Could easily slot on the top line.
