True.
But a sedan has room for a giant silver chalice in the back seat during the summer.
Lol!

This is true!
You can set that Chalice in-between the kids on those long drives to the lake on Sundays
Cute kids! Who’s Dad?

Strome for Tierney+?
Buch, Lias+?> for Lindholm
- Panarin | Lindholm | Kakko
- Lafreniere| Zibs | Kravtsov/Gauthier
- Kreider | Tierney | Chytil
- Lemieux | Howden | Gauthier/Barron
thats a pretty nice balance IMO
The thing that worries me a little bit about the Flames is that that they're a team who is rumored to be mixed up in trying to bring in a few bigger name UFAs. They've been linked to Hall, Markstrom, and Pietreangelo in the last few weeks. Markstrom in particular could be a sticking point with Lindholm since I would imagine part of their pitch will be the fact that one of his closest friends is a Flame. They've also been linked to OEL.
On the flip side, maybe if they land a couple of those guys it frees up others for less expensive acquisition costs.
I'm confident that Gorton has other avenues lined up but I hope they don't get tunnel vision here.

Hey there Compadre. I have a smoking new Jaguar (full sized) at with 400+ hp... costing a bit in fines and at the gas station. And would I like a functional safe Volvo instead? Naw...

If you already has Lamborghini or Ferrari but need more more reliability and safety features for the Cup and yeah the kids.

The question isn’t that Nylander is the more skilled player, the question is what the Rangers need, what they’re looking for, what they can afford, and functionality.
That’s going to be very important to remember when we look at the real world team Gorton is trying to build, as opposed to the one we assemble in NHL 21.

Great numbers, and he's a cost controlled upgrade over Strome. I don't have a problem with Strome + for Lindholm. That plus would likely have to be the 22 overall pick at least. CGY, who needs depth and players can use that 1st for something else, and you might have other pieces to balance it out.
Does CGY need to pay a tax with Lindholm to cover their other deficiencies? And does that help the Rangers cover said tax?
So to me I see a lot of the merits of why both teams would do this, but it's a classic situation of what're the alternative options for CGY?
Hanifin I couldn't give a rat's ass about. I know they don't have any farm hands they developed coming up on defense, and their depth is 3 UDFA signings. Or three Pionks.

Agreed. If something isn't centered around ADA, then it's probably Buchnevich.

Strome trade is going to be to recoup assets. Like Georgiev.
Thanks guys. It's what I would be good with, and one that's one you have to think long and hard about. Like I said previously, it's all about ADA's demands. If his body can manage 3 more years of good hockey, he's making the most he can possibly make. If Ada's agent has him going for the 6, Ada should see if the agent wiggles on their own rate to get a deal done, that will tell you who has his best interest at heart.
If it's the following:
- ADA -> Lindholm
- Strome-> Multiple 2020 Picks/Assets
- Georgie-> 2020 picks

I doubt it. Odds of that they would be able to keep him? It’s not that high 3-4 years down the line. He would be expensive too.

ADA for Lindholm.
Strome and Geo to Ottawa for #33 and #60 picks.
#22 or #33 and Hajek for Dunn.

I'm not. I think CGY needs to make a decision on the identity of their team. I know what they like, but it's a massive shake up. So you have to get back what solves your biggest set of needs now and in the future.
In other words, like my previous post, does CGY need to pay a tax with Lindholm?
No, too low those two. Two too many picks in round two for Dunn. Now for Jordan Tootoo? I'll have to think about it.
Edit: Saw that you had or for Dunn. I couldn't pass on the pun.

He would be replacing 30 year old Travis Hamonic on the right side who is a UFA after this past season (had a 3.85mm cap hit)

I spoke with a buddy of mine from CGY just a few days ago. He's not in the trade Johnny boat, he's in the one more year for Johnny boat. So like with any transactional business, there are going to be dominoes effects. It is an invariable inevitability of a walled garden that a sports league is.
Does age simply act as a disqualifier for you guys?
What if you had a chance to get an older player who is in the 30-33 range, but a horse? Like you know, athletically gifted, and his body's aging effects isn't the same as others?
Do you guys simply look at a cut-off age and say no? If so, what's that age?

To build on the Sens nugget Edge dropped in the Staal thread, this came out of a Garroich article about two weeks ago:
Wonder what team has a veteran center that can play in the top-six they'd be willing to give up for picks?
Sens have 7 2nd round picks in the next two years. Sure makes it easier to trade one of yours with Staal if you're confident you can get one back for Strome.

One interesting alternative that I wonder how much is being discussed is moving Lafreniere to center. It’s a move that changes the landscape a lot.

I am confident this is not even remotely on the radar.
Not until he's seasoned in the league a bit. Maybe worth trying then. He's a physical competitor that will do well on the walls.
