Why do people still call Johnny Gaudreau Johnny Hockey? What makes him so special from all the other hockey players that are WAY better than him. There are many more players that represent hockey better than he does.

Boom goes the dynamite.

Sometimes I question whether Gaudreau plays like s**t on purpose, anytime he gets separated from Monahan. If he's trying to "coach" the team by forcing the coaches hand, that sure as hell isn't going to fly with Sutter.

If we're not rebuilding, re-tooling is obviously on the table - but we should think of it as morphing the team. We got Gaudreau for basically nothing. If we get Hall for nothing, we're set on LW - so why not use Gaudreau as trade bait to get a key piece like Eichel? It would be interesting to see if Eichel-Hall could make it work in Calgary with a competent line-up & back end. Very high risk considering the Eichel injury.

I don't even know why Buffalo does this, considering Gaudreau has 1 year left before he's a UFA. I'd have to assume CGY's 12th overall is the centerpiece to the trade, throw in Pelletier/Zary/Valimaki and it looks very similar to the CGY-CAR deal featuring Hamilton for Lindholm/Hanifin.

Hall and Eichel worked really well in Buffalo. Why would Calgary think it would be any different there??

NHL level defensemen. If we lose Gio to Seattle, he'll re-sign in CGY as a UFA in a year, and it's very possible that Dumba signs in Calgary as a UFA at the same time (he's a CGY kid & was training in CGY prior to the pandemic in the off-season). That said, Valimaki+Kylington are very much expendable

There really aren't that many players that have put up 99+ recently (last full NHL season)

Offensively the guy is up there for sure...I don't think he has ever played with a real top end center either. Like someone else said I would want Eichel to play with Gaudreau

His name is Johnny and he had it trademarked. Johnny Football isn't very good at football so the bar is low.

The only way Johnny hockey comes to Buffalo is for Rasmus ristolainen. Swapping two guys that can walk in free agency at the end of next season.

Imagine having Eichel and Hall on the same line. Calgary would be unstoppable.

Plus Jack could bring the tandem bike along, Johnny could take the seat vacated by Rhino.
