A second would be. I wouldn’t trade a first for Simmons I don’t think. But that’s just my opinion.

Flames don't have a 2nd plus it's going to be a really late 1st. Flames could resign Simmonds too if it goes well. Maybe Flyers throw in a conditional later pick if the Flames don't resign him.

Hmm. You raise an interesting point. I will look into it further.

With the Flames basically rolling on all cylinders, I’d be content carrying on with the team we have.

Maybe send Kylington down and bring Valimaki up to get his game up to NHL pace again, and then we have a really solid defensive group.

Team is clearly content going forward with Smith and Rittich, so won’t be expecting a goalie acquisition.

Neal “sidelined indefinitely”. Does he have a concussion? Czarnik has been a good replacement for him in the lineup.

The more hits he has on one blog, the more money he makes. He’s being lazy, and getting payed.

Interesting, but doubtful. #1 centres are very hard to come by. Mony’s Just having some bad puck luck right now.

Move Lindholm to centre put Stone on his right wing, play the Tkachuk brothers with Backlund

Just spit balling

Edit Monahan becomes captain of Ottawa where he starred in junior.

Your boy still has to follow math. Brodie + Frolik + Smith = 13.2 million. Add another million to account for Tkachuk's current contract. There's no chance to get Tkachuk and Stone signed long term for less than 14.2 million. If they both sign for the low end of their projected value, it's probably around 17. That puts them above this year's cap. The cap is projected to go up between 2 and 6 million. So how would they be able to keep Bennett, sign two goalies, and fill out the roster?
- Hunkulese


Also another 900K in savings coming as we lose Bouma and Murphy buyout $ next year.

2nd round pick for Simmons MAX.
I would prefer we move a roster player who will otherwise be exposed in the expansion draft. Ie: Mangiapane and Czarnik for Simmonds.

And another 3-4 mil for the cap going up. Add Czarnik in the trade. There’s plenty of room mr positive. Stone won’t get 10.5 mil per though. More term less AAV bigger $$$$$ overall.

The expansion draft is 2 years away...I'd rather Calgary do what they can to win now and worry about 2021 when it gets here.

Trading a #1 Center for a rental. Are you insane? Especially while we push for cup.

I doubt the Flyers would do Mangiapane and Czarnik for Simmonds anyway but if we add a forward at the deadline and Neil returns those 2 will be eating popcorn. If they have any trade value i say trade them rather than picks as Dube, Quine, Lazar provide us enough depth.

Yea it's crazy wouldn't even think that if we didn't have someone to take his place. Just my opinion but 2 tkachuks better than 1.
I doubt Ottawa would even consider this.
