Dream time:


8 for Monahan
2 x 4.5 for Soderberg
Montour for Anderson
Craig Smith 3/15
Mojo and Mitts for a cheap young defenseman
Risto for a 3rd

I believe it's adding in the neighborhood of $6m maybe

Olofsson-Eichel-Reinhart
Skinner-Monahan-Smith
Kahun-Soderberg-Anderson
Tage-Lazar-Cozens
Okposo

Dahlin-Joker

With Larry gone we need a 2C and a 3C

Is larry gone?

How about signing boro cop from ottawa to replace montour after he's moved?

Sign DeMelo in place of Borgen and you're hired.

I'll translate:

We didn't get to draft anyone at 8! Therefore, that roster sucks.

The unanimous yes tells me It's probably not enough for CGY
- sbroads24

would you do pick 8 straight up for monahan?


I mean their later first for montour and asplund is pretty fair


I don't think pick 8 for monahan is

Seeing how we give up a future Cost control contract for a player that is average yes ..

People are going to see who the real sean monahan is when he doesn't have an all star playmaker

This is Kyle and Moulson all over again

Enjoy

Yeah, $6.3 for 3 years for a 2C who could fill in as a 1C without looking ridiculous is the exact same as $6m for 7 years for Okposo

Half of Sabres fans wanted ROR gone as well

I think the frustration from Flames fans is that they want a bona-fide, really good 1C, which Monahan is not

But the Sabres don't need him to be that

You mean a center that isn't the playmaker ? Its johnny hell the coach came out and said "you don't need a true center when your winger can be the center and drive the play "

3 years of him is not worth future cost Control players now we just have a 3 year window

Yes, this "quote" that you keep referencing without a source or context

The side-by-side RAPM charts show that Gaudreau is way more defensively responsible than Monahan, but they produce offense at the same rate.

It's not like he would be coming here to play with Benoit Pouliot and Seth Griffith

We don’t need him to “create magic”. We need him to do one of two things

Drive play in terms of shots/chances and allow Skinner to drive goals for (He doesn’t necessarily do that )

Or have an effect on goals for with good shooting % and be a second offensive threat to Eichel (he absolutely does that)

Not to mention having another weapon on the PP

If they can sign a Craig Smith or Jesper Fast to help mitigate Monahan’s defensive issues and not give up the 8th OA pick to do so I’m all for it

You need a playmaker for skinner hes not that he's a jeef Carter..

I'm honestly shocked you guys want him he doesn't show up in big games he becomes a ghost and a liability in crucial games


There's a reason why calgary fans can't stand him

Dude, we’ve trotted out Johansson, and Mitts as second line centers the past two years.

It’s no mystery why he’s a welcome addition.

But don’t worry, I can’t wait for this team to pick 8th again and get the next greatest thing that will either take 2-3 years to be a top 6 player or completely bust. Can’t wait

give them montour, asplund and a second rd pick

You're into good 2 way players that drive the play and work hard and do it all attitude

Why are you changing now ?

If we do this trade we will only have a 3 year window and it could turn out to be a mistake and we become that Average team that missed the playoffs by 2 points every year
