You wouldn't take Gio for 4.75 for 2 years? Clearly not the only move the team would make. What if it was Montour for Gio with 2M shaved off?
- TheSabresTaco

He makes 6.7 m the point of the deal is just take his contract ..

I’d hate to give up 8th OA for Monahan.

However if we can acquire him with a combination of other assets I wouldn’t mind it.

The trade proposal that started the Giordano talk was:

Montour, mojo, Mitts, 2021 first.

Monahan and Giordano
- Pegullaville

The deal is fine but how does it help skinner ? The Flame fans basically said hes just Jeff Carter we definitely need a set up man for skinner ..

I would pair Skinner with Eichel and Monahan with Reinhart

Why would Calgary do that?

If Montour signs for $4M, they would essentially be paying $6M for Montour?

That only saves them less than a million.

It makes so much sense that it seems obvious, but would the coach do it?

2020, 2021 1st and the rights to Larry for Monahan

Guy. I said 2M retained.

I'm not telling you they would.

I posed a very simple question. Would you take Mark Giordano for 4.75M for the life of his contract.

No, as there a number of better options out there.

olofsson montour, samuelsson and a 3rd rd pick for monahan and bennett

It makes so much sense that it seems obvious, but would the coach do it?
- kingcong39

depends on the synergy

- navinrjohnson

Not enough as Calgary has some serious love for Bennett.

Larry extended for 8 years for Monahan straight up

I think Calgary is too stupid to see the massive value of that trade. They pass because the coin landed on tails instead of heads.

And why the (frank) are we trading a top 3 center for some chump?

Montour, Mittelstadt, Marcus Davidsson, 8th overall to Winnipeg for Ehlers and the 10th overall?

Jake McCabe, Ryan Johnson, Rasmus Asplund for Vince Dunn?

In my scenario I was only taking Giordano back in order to lessen the asking price on Monahan.

Was just a mock trade idea that served its purpose as it stimulated conversation.

Context is important.

I’m sure we all agree that it wouldn’t be ideal to trade for Giordano at this point otherwise.
- Pegullaville

I don't see the fit at all honestly, and in general I have soured on the long-term fit for Monahan as well.
Moving along myself.

Montour, Mittelstadt, Marcus Davidsson, 8th overall to Winnipeg for Ehlers and the 10th overall?
- kingcong39

Id do that

Id do that
- Pegullaville

If the deal is pending who is available at 8 after the first 7 picks are made, would you still do it if Rossi was available at 8?

I'm not sure I would.

you are still insulting the clowns

they run an organized family friendly atmosphere on a daily basis

unlike the sabres

Hahahaha. I retract my statement

Probably not.
