I am not exaggerating I currently have 7 Trouba trade threads on ignore that were all active at the same time and I will be at 8 by today. I feel like the Flames fans have had it way to easy this summer

Johnny is not getting traded anytime soon.

I'd want Schenn and Provorov for Johnny. No I'm not kidding.

That and the Laine offer were pretty good for Johnny boy.

"It's hard to say cause I'm right in the middle of a contract right now and Calgary's been so great to me but obviously, playing in your own country and playing close to the East Coast and playing close to your family is something that sounds really great at times. I think a lot of players like to play in their own country."

"It would be a lot easier for my family and friends to be able to watch a few games in their own time zone instead of two time zones away. I remember last year in the playoffs, my parents are like, ‘We're getting to bed at 1 and 2 in the morning, we're so jacked up from the game. How are we supposed to go to bed when we don't fall asleep until 4 a.m.!’ I'm like, I'm sorry it's far, far away. But it was a great first few seasons and I know they enjoyed it."

Gaudreau talks on Philly sports radio.

Him saying "it sounds really great at times" is evidence he wants to play out east? That is the weakest proof I've ever seen

 

[Lindberg Cheese]

SKA Petersburg will be an absolute beast after they get Gaudreau......

 

[JLo217]

All I know is the nickname Johnny Hockey comes off as extremely cocky, and it should go away.

 

[CanadianPantherFan]

One of those is not like the other, and that one, Gaudreau would not even come close to returning.

With that said Gaudreau is a very valuable piece. I'm sure he'll stay in Calgary and would feel bad for the fans there if he wanted out. I know the pain from Pronger, and wouldn't wish that on any fanbase, even if I hate the team.

Which one??

Most annoying name in NHL, every time I hear announcers say it I'm looking for a massive hit.

 

[Mad Brills*]

Yes Johnny would like to finish his career in a Flyers jersey. But that's not unlike Martin St. Louis finishing his career in a Rangers jersey. Doesn't mean he's looking to bolt during his prime.

Just like how ovi will probably retire in russia, wouldn't shock me in a decade or so if he then wants to play closer to home. But players during their prime rarely do this.

 

[BatVader]

Straight up for Pacioretty

I second this.

 

[Roo Mad Bro]

Gaudreau to Philly is the new Bobby Ryan to Philly saga. Part II.

 

[Tkachuk Norris]

Most annoying name in NHL, every time I hear announcers say it I'm looking for a massive hit.

Why?

He's as skilled a player as their is. His hands and vision are special. And he didn't even choose the name. He was lighting up college the same time Johnny 'Football' Manziel was play for Texas A & M. People started calling him Johnny Hockey as a mockery to Johnny Football and it stuck.

I'm pretty sure the kid didn't give himself that name. If anything it's a complement to his talent rather than him being cocky.

He was (still is) an electric college talent and fun to watch.

I never said he gave it to himself or he was cocky, I stated its the most annoying name in the NHL. Thus where I hear it, I want to see a massive highlight of the night hit on him each time. Just n/c it's so annoying.

See the little water bug get crushed with a huge clean hit.

That's not nice.

 

[Doriva]

Buchnevich + 1st + I dont even know.

Highly doubt Calgary even entertains the idea of trading him, they'll get a deal sorted.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

I second this.

If I'm Calgary I would not do this. No interest in Pacioretty

There's a lot of players that I'd love to see get layed out too. Gudreau is a young exciting player and fun to watch. I'm not sure what about him could possibly rub you or anyone the wrong way?

Maybe he hates children? (Johnny looks like one)

With Contract talks broken off for the the WC, and rumours of Johnny wanting to be closer to home, what would your team give up for Johnny Gaudreau?

Here all I could find out about this :

• Sportsnet 960: The thing that's holding the Johnny Gaudreau contract talks on hold is the term. The Calgary Flames want a contract at around 7YRS, but Johnny Hockey will need at least $7M in AAV if that were to happen. Flames may not be willing to give that salary.

It a game we all love and that is why we all are on HF . But to want a guy crushed because of a nickname fans gave is is ridiculous .

If Treliving isnt willing to go 7 × 7 for one of the best forwards in the league he should be fired and replaced by someone who will.

Hall is a 62.5 point player over the last 2 seasons. He may have been a PPG player once but he hasn't been lately.

He had some of the highest points per 60 last season playing with a rookie. I think the over PPG winger from 3 seasons ago will come back with the change of scenery, as much as it pains me to say.

He needs to get his power play scoring back to get back to that level imo. Its hard to say if he will as the best aspects of his game are offence off the rush and forechecking to create turnovers. I honestly just still don't know where he best fits on the power play. He's definitely not a PP QB and shouldn't be the one touching the puck a lot. His shot isn't nearly good enough to be the triggerman. He does have good playmaking ability from down low, but he seems to struggle a bit when he can't use his speed to create passing lanes and they usually don't get through. If NJ can find a spot for him on the PP where he can produce 20-25 points then I could definitely see him being an 80 point guy again. He'll likely benefit from the more rush style of play in the east rather than the heavy cycle game thats more prevalent in the west.

He trademarked it. Before he was even drafted. Sounds pretty cocky to me
