Assuming Philly is out and willing to move him within the next few months (from now to the TDL) what would the ask be?
Probably Pelletier along with a late 1st.Assuming Philly is out and willing to move him within the next few months (from now to the TDL) what would the ask be?
I’d say a late 1st.
The top rookie in the AHL (2nd best player) and a 1st for a rental? Pelletier might come up and be almost as effective by himself (might)Probably Pelletier along with a late 1st.
Late 1st +2nd and a prospect at most for a rental and that's only if the team is a true contender.Assuming Philly is out and willing to move him within the next few months (from now to the TDL) what would the ask be?

I wouldn’t want to move Pelletier either as he done really well thus far in the pros, a fine prospect such as Pelletier and a late 1st is a high price to give up for a soon to be 34 year old UFA that leads his team in scoring that can play LW or C and take faceoffs with the best in the league and also great on left wall at power play.Short of Pelletier cooling off a lot between now and the TDL, I don't think he's getting moved. We're gonna need impact ELC's next year after a hopeful new Tkachuk and Gaudreau deals/
I doubt that would happen too, Calgary shouldn’t be giving up their top prospects and 1st round picks to go all in and make a run on the cup.Doubtful

Monahan @ ~6.4M
2021 1st
2021 4th
Giroux @ ~6.4M (23% retained)
I think that is pretty fair? Gives Flames a huge upgrade over Monahan and gives Flyers futures + another asset they could possibly flip for more futures?
This is a much more potent looking top 9 for Calgary:
Gaudreau - Lindholm - Tkachuk
Mangiapane - Backlund - Giroux
Lucic - Dube - Coleman
For a team that needs some more scoring after it's top line + Mangiapane, they should be willing to move a lot in terms of futures for an upgrade to their scoring depth:
- Those 4 forwards have totaled 33 ES goals and 69 ES points vs 24 ES goals and 49 ES ppoints for the rest of Calgary's forwards
- The top line is a combined +48, while the rest of the team's forwards are a combined -2.
- Milan Lucic is 5th among Flames forwards with 9 ES points.
That's not a recipe for sustained success. I would think a guy like Mangiapane would have legitimate chemistry with Giroux.
