Proposal: (DET/CGY) Määttä + Husso for Hanley

[User1996]

I think the proposal and reasoning shows a vast misunderstanding of Calgary’s situation. It’s Wolf’s net, and after the inconsistency he showed last year, having him in the NHL doesn’t hurt getting a higher draft pick (might honestly help it).

I’m all for brining in another goalie as a cap dump, but that player won’t displace Wolf, and we certainly need to be more incentivized to do so.

It’s essentially paying $5m for “maybe a 2nd” by flipping Maata and a C prospect. No thanks.

The Flames are being ran right now in such a bizzare way that I think they'd make this deal.

How so? They are selling off assets for futures right now. The plan is clearly to get a high draft pick next year. They have the lowest cap hit in the league now. How is that bizarre?

It's more how they got to this point than anything else.

The team had great depth pieces but their two stars bailed on the team post COVID. They tried to replace the stars, but it didn't work out and they pivoted towards a rebuild instead. Not that weird.

"weaponize their cap space" "TOTAL CAP = $5.3750m"

... does not add up to...

"lower end prospect, not one of DET's top 15 prospects"

$5.3M in extra cap is worth the 31st overall pick according to puckpedia.

Zero incentive.
