Proposal: Cgy Prospect Swap for Centre

[crackdown44]

It wasn't ridiculous! Kapanen is good center prospect and Flames first be around 14-15th. Kapanen plus 14 for 9th overall favours you actually. It's best offer you'll get on here. Parekh was 9th overall and plateaued this season. Only reason I offer that much he's right shot. If he was left shot I wouldnt offer Calgary first alone. For I know 14 will get me one of Fiddler, Bear or Mrtka. Who I see just as good.

You're not getting top 6 center drafting 30th. Kapanen is future third line center with potential to play in top 6

So you can’t draft a top 6 center 30th but Kapanen who was drafted 64th overall has top 6 potential. Interesting

I don't see them trading Parekh but the value you are offering is fair. I did notice that some fans tried to laugh at Beck and/or Kapanen and totally ignored the 1st rounder (14th OA ish) in the equation. Not sure why fans just can't deny the trade without prospect trashing.

No it really isn't. Zayne Parekh has the potential to be a superstar defenseman. Yes he could completely flop but the potential is very clearly there. Anyone trading for Zayne is doing it in hopes he becomes that elite offensive powerhouse like Quinn Hughes or prime EK65.

Kapanen has the potential to be a middle 6 center and whoever is picked in the ~14 range will be at best similar caliber to Coronato. Another good middle 6 guy but not a true 1st line talent. That offer is very clearly a quantity for quality offer and Calgary would instantly block your number.

This is not my debate. I'm not the one trying to trade for Parekh. Don't waste your time. Most Habs fans know the difference between Parekh and Kapanen. I am personally very aware of who Parekh is.

The other Habs fan offered Kapanen and a 1st (for the record). The point was... it was from one fan and it was also taken out of context and the 12-18 range 1st was completely ignored. Spend a bit more time comprehending the conversation trail.

Why are you getting so defensive and trying to avert the point. Whether the other poster made the proposal or not does not change what I quoted. You very literally said "the value you are offering is fair." It is not fair, simple as that.

Not sensitive. Just providing clarity. Kapanen and a pick from 12-18 is fair for someone taken 9th last draft. Doesn't mean you say yes but the value is fair. And once again, it's not my offer. Why are you ignoring that the 12-18 range 1st was offered with Kapanen? It's weird.

This does not warrant any further debate or prospect trash or "not even close" narratives. Move on time bud

Senators aren't exactly swimming in prospect centers, but they do have 4 young guys in the NHL currently blocking the way for anyone on the verge of NHL minutes. I think they'd move Stephen Halliday(+) for a piece on the back end. I'm not going to pretend I know who would make sense from a CGY perspective but given all the D listed by the OP there might be a fit.

Zach Ostapchuk probably should be available for the right piece but I don't think a prospect swap is what Staois would have in mind with him.
