Johnny Hoxville
The Return of a Legend
Honestly this is one of the worst proposals I’ve ever seen. You can’t be serious.
Ottawa:
Monahan
Calgary:
L.Brown
Lassi

As someone who’s a fan of a team that had issues down the middle for years I’m perplexed by Flames’ fans perspective that moving “Lindy” to center means that Monahan is on the move when they constantly rate him a 1b or high end second line center. In this scenario wouldn’t it make more sense to have both of them at center and love Backland given their respective ages and upside? I thought the Flames were rebuilding... or is that perspective incorrect?I think Calgary would be open to moving Sean for a high end RW as well. With Treliving’s comments about Lindy as centre; have to think there may be something in the cooker to give the core a shakeup.
There just isn’t enough ice time to go around down the middle for Calgary if they are dedicated to moving Lindholm to centre full time, not when Backlund is elite at what he does; and Bennett showed to have another gear centring his own line.
I said this on the Flames board, there’s something we don’t see happening here; because the moves they’ve been making the past couple weeks are great but also the forward group is busting at the seams when it comes to legitimate NHLers.

Terrible, to be frank.
At this time you are right, Monahan is the best of the two. But, hopefuly, he might get equal or if the Habs finally get a break of non PPG players, be even better in a near future. Suzuki is a very interesting player. If there ever is hockey next season keep an eye on him!Well.... You're doing it based off cap so I can respect that. My gripe would be with claiming Suzuki is a better player. Monahan is becoming one of the most underrated players in the league.
Calgary would easily decline.Ottawa:

Brown is a scoring line centre. If he wasn't injury prone this would be a reasonable offer. Batherson, Thomson and a 2nd is a fair offer.Calgary would easily decline.
Logan Brown might not even crack Ottawa’s lineup as a 4C, Lassi Thomson is most likely still atleast 2 seasons away from trying to crack an NHL roster, it’s also not clear what Thomson may even be and a 2nd with the aforementioned players is not enough for a proven #1 center in Monahan.
Ok but why would Calgary except this offer. The Flames are a team that is still trying to compete so why would they be willing to trade their #1C with a lesser replacement for Logan Brown or Drake Batherson who are no where near being a 1C and probably wouldn’t even make Calgary’s 2nd line in 20-21.Brown is a scoring line centre. If he wasn't injury prone this would be a reasonable offer. Batherson, Thomson and a 2nd is a fair offer.
Lol because Batherson is a sure shot done deal.Switch Brown to Batherson and I’d do it.
Monahan lead the team in points these playoffs. Kadri made a habit in Toronto of making his entire team disappear in the playoffs.For a much better player, Monahan sure has an odd tendency to disappear in playoff games. Those games and moments matter to some fans and GMs.

This won’t be the best offer in the thread and would only make sense if the Flames thou Lindholm could slide over as 1C but this is what Carolina could offer.
- Trochek (2 x 4.75)
- Fleury or Bean
- B level prospect
I’d say depending on if Calgary wants Fleury or Bean it would affect the level of prospect included. For Fleury the prospect would be lower, Bean it would be higher.
Trochek would be the 2C for Calgary. He won’t produce as much as Monahan but there’s also over $1.5 mil in cap savings.
Bean is ready for the NHL and would slot in after Hanifin on the left side. He would need a defensively responsible vet D man to bring him along though.
If he continues his play from last year, Fleury is ready for consistent top 4 play. He can play in all situations and brings size and some physicality. Can also play both sides.
For the prospect Canes have a lot in the forward pipeline so there’d be something good to pick from in there depending on what Calgary wants to key in on.
give your head a shake.
Honestly thats a "solid" offer, but both Bean and Fluery are Left Dmen, Calgary would want a right hander if any dman was coming back, so in this deal instead of the "B level ish prospect" I'd want a 1st ... if not then we just have to swap the 2nd piece of the deal(Bean/Fluery) and get a right dman with possibly no 3rd piece needed?
