Wish you were GMI know, right? but honestly, if we could get Beecher and a 2nd for Pospisil, I think we'd do it.

Devils advocate - as much as we all like the player. How much does injury history play a role in evaluating whether or not to move him?
NGL had to look up that reference. Holey moley:It'd take a Tanner Jeannot like overpayment to pry him out of Calgary right now.
He was given a chance by Conroy when many given up on him specifically because of his overwhelming ability to irritate. Which is why I doubt the Flames would even consider moving him; they really really value that presence on the roster.
He makes just 1M for two more years.
He was 6th in the NHL among all forwards in hits despite playing just 63 games.
He showed the ability to forecheck and push possession at an extremely high level.
His underlaying metrics are elite.
He has has positional versatility.
He was 5th on the team in pts/60 at five on five.
He was 2nd in individual expected goals per 60
He was 2nd in individual high danger corsi
He was 1st in rush attempts/60
He was 2nd in penalties drawn/60
Pospisil touches every area of the game and drags his teammates into the fight. He is exactly the type of guy that Conroy is targeting and building around. Yes - his injury history is certainly a concern, but this kid is a rare breed who can impact games in multiple ways.
legit we almost have a modern day Lucic (prime Lucic) and people are comparing him to Bouma lol
