Let's break it down, you are getting normally a Selke candidate centre and one of the top defensive D men in the NHL for under $5M for your playoff run. You are also dumping a contract with money that hasn't worked out as hoped for and you gain that cap space. With moving out Johansson and Byram's money plus the cap going up you can probably get both guys to sign extensions. If they wanted to get someone to take on Johansson's contract it would probably cost them their 1st as cap space is premium and those who have it know they have the others over a barrel. I think the value is good, Foudy is a B prospect at this point.

This might not be popular but I'd do

Hanifin (50% retained) + lindholm (50% retained) for byram + foudy + 1st + johansen.

I would try to go for quality over quantity in the return for these UFAs and you we probably won't have an opportunity to get a more valuable young player then Byram.


I'm still not convinced the Avs would be willing to move Byram. I wouldn't if I was them.

I don't mind this.

Then with Byram in and OK returning you deal Hanifin to NJ for a young forward (Holtz) and pick.

I still think the Flames will sign Hanifin. I am going to be honest, I would rather have Ritchie than Byram. Yes, Byram is a great talent but man is he always injured which is another reason why I can see the Avs more likely to part with him. He is injured right now again.

The Flames are giving up more defensively ... stat.
The goaltenders are making more saves ... stat.

They are meaningful as well.

Your stat is wins and losses right?

But the sad thing is how pointless this six week argument has been. Take out a 5 and replace him with a 7 and you're not going to be better because of that change.

You don't have to love or hate Zadorov to arrive at that conclusion.

Losing Zadorov in the line up for nothing is not a plus

But to be fair the scrub dmen have been holding up not too badly so far

(hopefully not a Fata)
DFO's breakdown if Lindy.

All I got to say is that it's nice Connie and Flames in a position of relative strength with the team playing well as compared to the start of the season; I just hope we continue down the path of asset management and strategic foresight...

I think Calgary has played much better since the trade as a team, does that have anything to do with Zadorov leaving, doubt it. Just the team playing as they should have, probably more coincidence than anything.
You can also say Vancouver is 14-3-3 since they got him, so he must be awesome. Also not true but he filled a need and brought more balance to their pairings, trade looks like a win/win unfortunately.
Both teams have been better since.

Everyone's focused on Byram from the Avs and maybe rightly so but i would also love Gulyayev. Great skating offensive dman who was also a first rounder last year. Younger without the concussion history and huge upside.

We definitely have less between-the-legs-drop-pass-as-you-skate-behind-your-net events since Z left. That says it all for me.

There is an argument that Zadorov is paid too much for a 5 which I think has some merit. A #5D can only have so much impact on the game.

But a good #5 does give you some insurance in case of injury. Look at the games where Tanev didn't play and guys like Oesterle were getting bigger minutes.

Tanev plays 15 seconds and Flames lose 6-5 to Colorado.
5-4 L to Vegas
3-2 L to the Wild
4-2 W vs. the Lightning in a game where Vladar played great.

Zadorov probably helps a little bit in those games.

SuperMatt mentioned Vegas earlier, and I wouldn't be surprised if they do something. They'll want to fend off the Oilers, and unlike most GM's MacCrimmon is not a coward when it comes to trading prospects or picks. Can't see them sitting back if there's good immediate help available.

Flames were right to trade Zadorov, he checked out after that Toronto game. Sure he could have helped...but he had made up his mind that he wanted to leave. Moving on from guys like that fine by me.

Yeah, I don't like somebof the cap shenanigans they pull. But why not if you can? They're willing to take the big risks and they've had some reward for it. They have an advantage that players will want to stay with the team once they get there. But they do leverage it. So I do admire how they go about things.

If they offered something like Korczak, 1st, 2nd or something like that I could see the Flames being interested.

6'3", RH shot, physical d-man...fills a role this team is missing long term.

Flames the deal works because it gives them a second line center with one year left on his deal who might be motivated to play next year for a new contract.
Gives the Flames some skill down the middle and an asset to move next year at the trade deadline.

That $4M Johansen contract and a 50% retained on Lindholm make for an interesting trade potential with Colorado.

Part of the deal

2024 first round pick

Ritchie or Byram

Foudy, Olausson, Hanzel, or a second round pick

I think this is an example of maximizing trade value using salary retention and also taking back a contract. I personally think the Avalanche will not trade Byram as that is a contributing player for them who gives them insurance for any injuries to other defencemen. I would hope for Ritchie or Gulyayev though.

Maybe Cheveldayoff channels his inner-MacCrimmon and the Jets make a solid run at a Cup.

I wouldn't call Dino a troll.

I think he's a huge Flames fan, one that can be somewhat irrational at times.

But I've defended him for the most part over the years because I think it makes more sense to be pro Flames on a Flames fan site, than anti Flames.

He's in the right ditch and over the correct rumble strips (even if his car is totaled)

The Zadorov thing has been somewhat unhinged in my mind, but it's just because he quickly disconnects from ex-Flames and then looks for any reason why it's better that they're gone.
