You do realize everytime you guys bring up a Eklund rumour, the majority of time it's hogwash. Yet here we are again for the umpteenth time... take the power away from the guy by not spreading his garbage around. He's like the Donald Trump of a so-called hockey pundit...

It's called a message board for a reason. There's also a reason we discuss rumours from Eklund on here. Is there difference between a regular poster making a proposal or discussing an Eklund rumour? Some of what Eklund probably has some legs to it, if you don't like the rumour no one is asking you to comment.
FWIW, knowing Treliving I'm sure he has had discussions with the Sens as with every team. There's also assets that are highly unlikely the Flames would move, so in reality we can probably judge the probability of a deal happening.

Any chance we could get a Flames fan or two to chime in on what they think of Tkachuk+1st for Hoffman?

Hoffman for Gaudreau... here done deal, lets move on
Just add on 3 of Ottawa's best prospects and their next 3 number 1 picks.
Thanks

The first was on the wrong end.

Mike Hoffman, 30 goal scorer + 1st round pick for....18 year old potential top six forward. Makes...sense?

Mike Hoffman, one-dimensional 29 goal scorer two seasons removed from clearing waivers plus perennial mid-first-round-pick for... multidimensional 18 year old projected top line power forward.

I see Calgary fans are already severely overrating Tkachuk.
Nobody in there right mind would trade Hoffman and a 1st for Tkachuk.
Hoffman for Tkachuk+1st+Jokipakka is fair
As a Canucks fan.
Tkachuk has massive questions regarding his skating

Prospect+1st+3rd pairing Dman
For
30g 60pt Winger who is still young and would immediately put you into playoff position.
With Hoffman and Elliot you guys would be in the playoffs and your 1st would be 12-25th
There's absolutely no way any team would add a 1st to Hoffman for Tkachuk. Wouldn't even do Hoffman for Tkachuk 1 for 1.
Go look at a list of players drafted 6th overall. Go compare those players to Hoffman.

I get it, and that's fair. Your description could actually end up being true...some day.
However we are talking about today. Tkachuk could very well develop into a 1st line power-forward. The odds would suggest that will not be the case. Then again, odds were that Mike Hoffman would never truly crack the NHL.
Anyway, would you make that deal if you're Ottawa's GM? I think we can both agree you'd be fired within an hour?

Oh wow so you are being serious.. so you actually think Calgary would give up Tkachuk, a 1st and Joki for Hoffman
That's insane.
Hoffman is 1 year from UFA and requires a huge contract.
That limits his value in a cap world.
I doubt Calgary would trade Tkachuk straight up for him as cap implications make a huge difference.

No I don't think they would. I think that is ballpark what OTT would ask for and they would be right to do so. No one in their right mind would add a 1st to Hoffman for Tkachuk.
Not even Jim Benning is that dumb

For what Hoffman brings, yes I would need the Sens 1st to move him. I don't care if it's not fair, I like what Tkachuk brings a lot more. Tkachuk's intangibles are far greater than Hoffman's.

You've been in the locker room with Tkachuk in the NHL...even though he hasn't played a game in the NHL? You a time traveller?
