Proposal: Calgary - Philly

[MustardTigers]

​

Rumors of Johnny Hockey wanting to be closer to home seems completely unrealistic. I will play into this anyways for fun.

Flames give Johnny Hockey (who then signs the enormous contract we all expect)
Flyers give Sanheim and Voracek

Both fanbases like all these players so I am prepared to see some blind anger. Before we get a litany of "Voracek isn't worth his contract" comments. He had a down year and he still put up .75ppg so don't start claiming he has no value. Important to add Voracek just turned 27 last month and Gaudreau is 23.

Flames are also familiar with Sanheim from his Hitmen days.

Let the games begin.

As a Flyers fan, no thank you. Jake is fine. If we're assuming that the contract Gaudreau is getting will be at least as large as the one Jake has, then I don't think the value is that far off for what each offers. Certainly not Sanheim.

Love me some Johnny Hockey, but that's too steep.

 

[Vatican Roulette]

Although I don't believe he's traded....

Provorov/Sanheim
Schenn
Konecny

Cap notwithstanding.

 

[FatTugboatFlahr]

**** no.

 

[Captain Controversy]

not a bad offer. If I was the flames gm, I would rather have schenn, Sanheim.

 

[DJJones]

No way we're taking on Voracek's contract.

Provorov or Ghost bear plus Simmonds

Otherwise why bother.

Op is bad but good luck here as well...

 

[Starat327]

Flyers aren't trading from one hole to create another. We need the D prospects more than we need another winger - no matter how good they might be. We'd also have approximately, what? 23 million (if the asking price is 7x7) tied up on one line.

Great player, but Philly doesn't have the expendable pieces to give up to get him.

 

[Cootsfanclub]

I said in the other thread a fair trade would be Simmonds and Sanheim, not that I'd necessarily pull the trigger (really high on Sanheim).

No clue if Philly would even consider it, but for me, it would need to be Schenn and a D prospect (obviously not Provorov, I know he isn't going anywhere.)

Provorov/Sanheim

Konecny

Cap notwithstanding.

Are you suggesting all three of those assets ? If I were the flyers I wouldn't pay that for Brodie who is currently a better player than gaudreau. Way too much for him right now.

 

[Tripod]

Voracek is 1 year removed from producing like JG did this year. No need to bail on him and trade away a potential top pairing Dman in the deal too.

JG is great...bug there is no need for this deal.

Last 2 years, JG is 15th in PPG....Jake is 18th.

 

[BrindamoursNose]

Jake Voracek is still a premier player in the NHL. He's on JG's level. Had a down year is all due to injury.

Wouldn't go near that trade

 

[Maurice of Orange]

Maybe the Flyers could be in the running 8 years from now when Gaudreau's deal with Calgary ends and Johnny Hockey becomes a unrestricted free agent...

 

[Flamesjustwin]

Not a chance. The Flames are not taking an overpaid Voracek. Something like Simmonds, Schenn + another valuable piece is what it would take because the Flames are not that interested in moving a 22 year old top 5 scorer in the NHL.

One of the players in the deal has been a top 5 scorer in the NHL, the other one is Gaudreau.

Seems pretty pricey for Gaudreau's RFA rights, Especially what he's going to command money wise.

 

[BrindamoursNose]

Exactly.

I feel like I'm taking crazy pills when I see people get offended by a Voracek for Gadreau trade.

"Flyers give Sanheim and Voracek"

That's just silliness !

 

[Tripod]

Lol....funny how that point is ignored.

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

I wouldn't do this deal simply due to age. Jake probably has 2-3 more years of elite play before he declines. Gaudreau hasn't even topped out yet.

 

[Johnnybegood13]

One of the players in the deal has been a top 5 scorer in the NHL, the other one is Gaudreau.

Lol, too funny

Jakub had one 5th place season with 81pts in 82 games.

Johnny had one 6th place season with 78pts in 79 games.

What you forgot to mention is Jakub has played 8 seasons and looks more like a 50-60 point player than a top 5. everyone knew he cashed in on his FA season and now has one of the worst contracts in the league.

Johnny's rookie season of 64 points is better than any of the other seven Voracek's seasons, points/goals wise Gaudreau will crush Voracek from here on in...it won't even be close.

Lol....funny how that point is ignored.

You were saying?

Exactly.

I feel like I'm taking crazy pills when I see people get offended by a Voracek for Gadreau trade.

If Treliving traded Gaudreau for an overpaid Voracek he would have overdosed on stupid pills.

 

[Halla]

Jake Voracek is still a premier player in the NHL. He's on JG's level. Had a down year is all due to injury.

Wouldn't go near that trade

Voracek didnt top 50pts until he was 24, 450 games into the NHL
Gaudreau did it as a 21 year old rookie, then took his game to a level in his 2nd year Voracek has only hit once.

Gaudreau is significantly better, and has a lot more value. Gaudreau 0.89ppg career, Voracek 0.70....

 

[Halla]

One of the players in the deal has been a top 5 scorer in the NHL, the other one is Gaudreau.

one of these guys has only topped 63 points once. The other is Gaudreau

 

[OvermanKingGainer]

Voracek had 11 goals last year.

I just imagined replacing Gaudreau's 30 goals with Voracek's 11 goals.

Yikes.

We would be Oilers level bad.

Almost.
