Zegras's bull#### definitely won't go down well with Q

I expect Q will also bring Zegras back from the brink.

Good coaches have an impact.

Of the RFA’s he is by far the best fit for the Flames. I just don’t see the teams making good trade partners.

I feel like if Parekh where on the table the Ducks are interested but that is a no go from the Flames. I am sure that is the type of player the Hawks or Mammoth would trade their 3rd/4th overall pick for.

Verbeek has had some nasty negotiations with RFA’s in Anaheim so if it goes south with McTavish and he somehow is available the Flames need to try their best but an in division trade is tough to make and I think the Ducks would want a similar type young piece in return like the Gauthier for Drysdale trade they made with Philly

At some point the Ducks need to pick who there top 2 centers will be going forward. Sure you can push to the wing but that has chance of upsetting someone.

McTavish, zebras, Carlson. And if they draft a C this draft too

[Vinny01]

Andersson+Pospisil+18+32
For
Zegras+Zellweger+10+60

Flames get a young right shot center and young left shot D and get into the top 10 and a late 2nd. The Ducks land a top 4 D, top 9 winger and 2 picks in the 1st round.

I love your trade proposals as a Flames fan. Don't think other teams would though.

Just not sure why they trade the #10 pick?

[Saqe]

One thing to remember is that Q did an amazing job with the defensemen in Florida, like Forsling and Montour. I doubt Anaheim wants to move any of their young guys on the back end just for that reason alone.

So Zegras who has 47pts in 88 games over the last 2 seasons Carrie’s significantly more value? Adding a 2nd 1st is not enough to trade up 8 spots?

I know some of my deals slant to the home team but I am struggling to see how the Ducks are getting fleeced here. I also think Andersson and Pospisil are the type of players that Verbeek would covet on his team.

It is the main piece of the trade for the Flames. Giving Zegras a fresh start and swapping a winger for a Dman is not the main reason they are dealing Rasmus and their 2 1st

100%

Fits the age range, and it could force Zary to play center (I think Zary would do just fine) in that role.

I don’t know much about Zellweger but his stats are decent and he is young. Drop the picks and it could be more fair for the Ducks. Zegras probably has more value than Pospisil and Andersson has more value than Zellweger. Is the gap between Andersson and Zellweger big enough to gap the value difference between the picks and Pospisil?

If the picks are not in the deal then I do not want the trade from the Flames perspective. The ducks have a glut of LHD and short on RHD.

To me getting the 10th pick is the prize and I am intrigued by what the other pieces could be but without 10 I am not entertaining the deal.

You would absolutely need the #10 to make that trade make any sense. Zegras is a borderline cap dump now, same age as Bennett was when he was traded and with arguably worse results in his career. Bennett snagged a 2nd round pick and a former 2nd round pick. If that is Zegras's value it he is basically worth the 32nd overall pick.

Not sure Zellweger is worth Andersson, Pospisil and the 18th overall pick. Not even sure he is worth Andersson straight up.

Don't mind the trade proposal but the #10 has to absolutely be included.

I wouldn’t mind it with the picks dropped completely if Zellweger is actually good. Zellweger + Zegras + a 2nd or something for Andersson and Pospisil.

[Vinny01]

I am interested in getting another 1st this year or in 26 or 27 for Andersson. I am also interested in using Andersson as an asset to move up which what I attempted with the Ducks proposal.

They already have Trouba and Gudas on the right side. And also LaCombe who is able to play both sides and Zelleweger I believe can do the same.

[Jiri Hrdina]

Yeah the Ducks had too many D this year so guys like Mintyukov were being scratched. I'm not sure they are looking to add to the blueline.

[ForeverFlameFan]

If the Ducks are moving 10th OA, they're likely going to go for local boy Jason Robertson. They've got the assets to make a deal with Dallas if need be.

Perhaps Dallas would be interested in Coleman and Andersson for 10th OA and Dumba, something along those lines with some retention.

[Muta]

in the Jankowski draft year, we dropped from 14 to 21 in the first round, but gained a second round pick out of it. Would people be comfortable (theoretically) going up to 10-12 in this year's draft it it meant a) dropping a 2nd rounder, but b) getting a player like Brady Martin?
