Speculation: Armchair GM 2024-25 Season, Craig Conroy's Can Do Calgary Flames

Guys made of glass and Winnipeg aren't sellers lol

That's why you steal him via offer sheet.

 

[InfinityIggy]

Why would you bring him up if you aren't interested in acquiring him?

I didn’t bring him up.

 

[Ledge And Dairy]

I didn’t bring him up.

Well the. Whoever you responded to I have blocked, lol mb

OK, I'm on the hype train now
Who is out there that is still useful, but overpaid? We could take a salary dump, gain a good pick, and still improve the team.
Guessing we could shore up C/D/G
If we're missing out on a top 10 pick, I would love to see us finish ahead of NJ

I wonder what the plus could be requested from Ottawa on a Chabot - Weegar based trade. I wonder would it be worth it?

Sens clear cap long term, get better player who plays both sides and local boy who can mentor the young talent Ottawa has. Weegar slots where Chabot currently is at LD.

Flames downgrade and loose flexibility of what playing RD but receive a passable and younger top pairing work horse in return. Assume Ras stays, same draft as Ras and rumors are we would have drafted Chabot if we didn't trade for Hamilton.

Would we ask for futures as the main basis of the plus? Or is there a roster player swap that might make sense?

I wonder what it would take to land Kirby Dach. I feel like we are actually good trading partners with Montreal, they have way too many forwards and we have cap space to take on a bad contract or two in order to get some value.

Something like Dach+Josh Anderson for Vladar+2nd+Pelletier or D prospect? Is that insulting to Montreal? Then we ship Kuznemko out for whatever late pick we could get (or even maybe scratch him) and go with some combination of:

Sharan-Backs-Coronato
Zary-Dach-Coleman
Hubes-Kadri-Anderson

It would be a very cheap way to add a decent young RHC and Anderson only has two years left. Dach is from Alberta also. Montreal may not wanna sell low on Dach though
