Tampering wouldn't be that hard to prove in the later rounds, when teams go off the board constantly. If Toronto suddenly starts taking a swathe of players the Flames had ranked highly, there are ways to call shenanigans using statistics. It's not hard.

[FlamesAddiction]

How about Toronto gives the Flames their draft rankings and scouting reports, then we're even?

What, they wouldn't want to do that? You don't say...

Leafs gave the Devils a 3rd for Lou.

Good. Leverage the hell out of the expiring contracts we have on players who are still good enough to net a sizeable return. Retain salary for a year if necessary, just please show some indication that asset management is now a priority for this club.

Oilers have Boston a 2nd for Chiarelli but I thought they kiboshed picks for executives after that

Hey, I could do that!

Is this a thing? Do all nhl Cs have size?

Never really taken note.

Point is 5’11. Ands lots of centres are 6’0 or 6’1. It’s not a huge gap.

Plus Coronato has decent weight to him.

[Sandman]

6’0” and 6’1” are a far cry from 5’10”.

Plus, Coronato is not exactly a world class skater, or a defensive stalwart like Point.

[traptor]

5"10 180 lb is alot different from 6'0 175lb.

Short stocky guy like coronato could be alot stronger then petterson, aho, zegras and Hughes for example.

There's obviously no gurantee he could be a center but his size should be no issue.

2 inches is not a “far cry”. And heft is much more important than height.

And I think you should go back and look at the skating history of Point. He was a noted poor skater. He worked hard to improve. And the same was said about his defence. That’s why he was a third rounder.

So what you're saying is he's short for his weight.

I am terrible at golf again this week. 3 Iron in Lynx Ridge swamp off 17....

Three teams Calgary is most engaged with are Buffalo, Dallas and Carolina. Group of teams who have said "If X is available" call me when referring to the 7. There is a market for all of them if Calgary decides to go down that way.

Flames really wants "The plan" on 3 of the big 7 before the draft. Backlund, Lindholm, Hanafin. Conroy and co phones have been on all week to the players. Strong chance Backlund might take a cheap deal to stay here forever a flame

Dallas wants to shake the tree and feel they're close. Got some boat anchors. Lindholm fits their needs big time, in the age sweet spot. The want is Wyatt Johnston. The brass in Calgary have familiarity with boats.

Almost every team has called about the Lindholm situation. The number is "Higher than Horvat right now" but "Wants the house paid for this summer". FS said the deadline is the Draft week. We shall see if they learned anything.

[FlamesAddiction]

How much center did he play this past season?

Almost all the highlight videos of Coronato I can find show him scoring from skating down the wing. Granted, the sample size is small as there doesn't seem to be upload footage of every goal and point he had this past year. It's also difficult sometimes to tell if he was just covering as plays evolved.

[MrMike]

Should be an interesting two weeks. I’m excited to see what Conroy can do.

We call that Hockey IQ, He's not big but will use his speed to drive the outside and if there is a lane inside he will take it.

Does that mean McDavid isn't a Center because he drives play from all over the ice...

[Jiri Hrdina]

Wyatt would be a great get

[Mass_nerder]

Johnson would be an amazing return.
Not sure how much of a + there would be to be, but if Lindholm is open to staying here, the price should be higher.
All of Dallas's boat anchors have NMC, so that's interesting.
