2021/2022 Trade Speculation and Rumours

But taking a big chunk of cap with Tkachuk can be solved by easily moving him for picks and prospects.

Tkachuk doesn't fit them either, but he could easily be moved for picks and prospects.

Yeah, I’d be wanting tkachuk+. Monahan wouldn’t interest me at all. I would like for the Flames to try and get Tarasenko at 15% for Monahan. Or something along those lines, especially if we get Eichel.

Monahan to Ottawa for futures

Flames futures+Ottawa futures for Eichel

Sign Ritchie

[ComixZone]

The fact that Danault has not signed yet leads me to believe he's directly linked to Eichel. Hopefully we see that all shake out here soon...

[TheIronMaiden]

My guess is that Monahan and the 1st are not the hurdle.

Its the fact that Buffalo wants Mangiapane that is holding things up. BT is probably trying to convince him that Zary or Dube are just as good.

[Nelson]

Yeah, I still haven't heard about Nick Ritchie signing anywhere. Seems like he would be a great fit in CGY with his bro. My optimal day:

-Sign Ullmark
-Sign Ritchie
-Trade for Eichel

It'll never happen, but that would be awesome.

He can be our Kopitar.

WTF is seattle doing?

Idk if he is a Sutter player right now, but I think he could be. After being in the circus that is Buffalo, I could see Eichel thriving with a no nonsense coach in Sutter.

I really don't want to see Mangiapane leave as he's probably my favourite current Flame. But obviously you trade him if you need to for Eichel, and you don't even think twice about it.

[Nelson]

I'm getting nervous about the backup goalie position, even Elliot signed.

[SuperMatt18]

Monahan, Dube, One of Coronado/Pelletier/Zary, 1st 2022 (Top 5 protected), 2nd 2022 (FLA)

Feels like that satisfies the ask from Buffalo, and as a Flames fan I don't get too much heart burn from giving up that package.

[dammage79]

Ullmark is gonna be a Flame, I feel it. Just think the logjam right now is whatever deal the Flames are trying to make.

Hard to imagine Ottawa taking on that much money, especially with Monny recovering from surgery.

Not their typical game.

The Flames are going to scrape the bottom or the barrel here I think. They likely want a tandem that comes in under 8M AAV

Could have been worse, we could have been the team that signed Elliott.

If you could get Eichel and keep Gaudreau, Lindholm and Tkachuk, that would make the Flames really good.

[Nelson]

Just for fun:

Mangiapane - Eichel - Coleman
Gaudreau - Lindholm - Tkachuk
Lucic - Backlund - ?
Ritchie - Pitlick - Ritchie

[Nelson]

They just mentioned Aaron Dell's name on Fan960. Dell's from Airdrie. He pales in comparison to Ullmark, but he could be the bottom of the barrel if the Flames need.
