He is. Even in this dream scenario, Dahlin is the player who is flustered… Buffalo is the team scrambling… there’s no way anybody else is offering up a Parekh level prospect +.

Although it would hurt, I would move Parehk for Dahlin, depending on the rest of the package.

That would be a stupid move. Parekh is doing things in junior we have not seen since Bobby Orr. That is a guy you don't move period.

Trade 2 firsts and a D prospect.

Trade Anderson to recoup a first and a prospect.

No, it wouldn't be stupid. Parekh's ceiling is objectively Dahlin--nearly a point per game defender who is defensively responsible and physical.

Dahlin shoots, he hits, he defends, he blocks shots, he puts up close to a point per game and a positive +/- on a basement dweller of a garbage team.

He's only 24 and signed to a fair contract for his production for the next six years.

As much as I really like Parekh and what he's doing, he's still only a prospect and absolutely is not a lock to be even as good as Dahlin. Sure, there's a small chance Parekh becomes a better overall defender and a smaller chance he's the next Bobby Orr, but it's far from guaranteed.

Dahlin is already arguably the best defender in the NHL. Trading a blue chip prospect for him wouldn't be stupid.

0.75 PPG is not nearly a ppg player. Not to dismiss the other points - he is a great defender with a very high end two way game etc.

Parekh's ceiling may be Dahlin, sure, but looking at what he's already doing in juniors, he looks closer to a Makar / Hughes type.

An actual homegrown stud close to that level would be massive

If the Flames were 3 years ahead in their rebuild, I'd be down with this. But for now, no need to fast track whatever it is we're building, as we've barely begun laying the foundation.

Fits our age window better too.

Is Dahlin decent in his own zone and physical? Betting that is going to be Parech’s weak points.

[Paulie Walnuts]

Fits with our age window lol.

Yeah lets punt a potential superstar player, one we have had trouble getting for old players.

[saillias]

Ideally you'd want them to play together. That's one way to compensate for the lack of forward talent. Rebuild the 07 Ducks w/ Pronger-Niedermayer. It would be fun, having 2 D superstars.

Parekh is excellent with his stick, he is not that physical. You don't need to be physical to be a good defender. See Nik Lidstrom

They also had Getzlaf, Perry, Selanne up front. Kunitz and McDonald as well.

I get this argument... but Conroy's been clear that he's looking to add early to mid 20somethings to jumpstart the next phase of the team.

I get that folks might find that "stupid" but it's the mandate for this team and trading for Dahlin wouldn't be outside of that--and would speed up the process considerably.

You don't need to be trading the #3 ranked prospect for 24 year olds full stop.

Other methods to get him, but if it involved Parekh Buffalo can screw off.

Speeding things up, and trading your best prospect since Johnny would be one of the worst things this team can do.

I'd give him up for a blue chip franchise C prospect.

I am not opposed to trading for Dahlin at all, he is an excellent top pairing D. Not at the expense of a prospect who has all the tools and skill to become the best D man in hockey potentially. I think people disregard just how smart Parakh is and how that can affect his hockey development.

He is.

[Tbull8]

Its crazy to go back and think about the rumored Lindholm to Columbus discussions at the draft. Without knowing how true it was, if the 4th overall was even somewhat in play and we'd landed Fantilli?

Edit: have the year wrong, it was last year.

So Demidov/Tij/Catton

[Vinsta13]

Wonder if we see flames make a push for Ekblad and Marner this off season. I would rather have Ekblad for what we are offering Anderson.
