It doesn’t even need to age, it’s a terrible take right now.
If that rumoured offer is true, seems pretty fair to me. Would like to get a 1st for Tanev but realistically I think it'll be something closer to that example.
I think if there is a 1st it will come from Toronto as they don’t have any 2nds in the upcoming drafts. I also imagine that would have to come with 50% retention as well. But 2nd and a B prospect is probably what most teams would be offering I imagine.
I’m not saying we would’ve picked him at all… but if you didn’t trade Sven you wouldn’t have one of your best defenders, it’s pretty clear that that deal favours Calgary
Interesting you didn’t reply to my other posts you were complaining about and went for something new… you love telling me things that I already know though it’s the HF special I love it. Sven Baertschi was obviously not worth a second round pick lol.
Yet you continue to make ridiculous statements that need to be challenged. Suggesting the Baertschi trade was a massive overpayment because Calgary ended up taking Andersson with the 2nd is just wrong. You keep saying you know these things but that's opposite of the statements you keep making.
Tanev was worth a 1st+ when Vancouver fans were asking for one. His play afterwards pretty much vindicated that
Is a 2nd and Raty real? I am actually kind of surprised they didn't take that.
Ya that seems exactly what they should be looking for.
That seems like really good value for tanev. It would be a 2025 2nd, so that may have factored in. Raty is a solid prospect, I think people forget he just turned 21.
Yeah, I would have been fine with that as a Flames fan. Hadn't heard it elsewhere. I assumed the Canucks were just trying to add in a 2nd by itself.
That’s what was rumoured but unsure if that was in addition to the entire package Calgary got for Lindholm or in place of say the conditional 4th.
The most i would have ever oferered for Canucks Tanev was a conditional first rounder that dropped a round every 10 games he missed due to injury, canucks fans always scoffed and they got nothing when he left. Considering he only once played 70 games in his time there and didnt have a long playoff run until his final season in Vancouver, why in the world would we pay any more than that? (nobody else did, fyi)
Baertschi did nothing, Calgary got Rasmus Andersson.. how is that not a steal for them? If the Canucks had picked their own player in that stacked draft the odds are very high that player would’ve been superior to Sven who did absolutely nothing. Nothing challengeable
If the Flames had picked Graham Knott with the 2nd does that make Baertschi a steal for the Canucks? No, because they traded a 2nd not Graham Knott.
You guys are ridiculous for this lol. It’s obvious you don’t make trades like that in the most stacked draft class we’ve ever seen. 2nd was an overpay for Baertschi and everyone knows it regardless of the player selected with the pick.
The Rasmus mention was more so my confusion at how Flames fans think this wasn’t an overpay for a player that did nothing for us.
Fair enough. FWIW at the time I was pissed they flipped Sven for a 2nd. I figured he just needed a little more time and was going to break out. I felt the Flames got impatient and moved on, and to some extent I still think its true they mismanaged him.
Treliving said at the time of the trade no other team offered anything close to a 2nd for Baetschi. It was one of the many transactions that Benning was criticized for over his tenure as Canucks’ GM.
