Your entire dialogue is about your disliking the Flames. You’re always saying our players suck and wouldn’t get any decent return, and yet we finished 1st in the west. But to you that means nothing because it’s the Flames. You don’t have to say the words ‘you hate them’ the rest of what you say makes it clear. The way you’re supporting the Leafs in my wishful trade scenario I’d suggest that you’re a Leafs fan.
And for the record, you brought up McDavid, not me.

I get most in here have a dislike for hunk..,but he is generally more in touch with reality when it comes to trade value of flames players ... and has been praising the flames for longer than most realize ...it can’t always be lollipops and rainbows lol

Is Brodie still worth a 1st? Or have fans realized he is a product of Gio yet?

I feel like his value has to be better than griffin reinharts was ....

I’m surprised that donk didn’t rip us for not winning the draft lotto while he was throwing out his words of wisdom 😂

At times, sure - then he suggests packaging Monahan and Neal for a 2nd round pick...

I agree it can't all be sunshine and rainbows, fans have gotta be pragmatic, but Hunk is notoriously the single most negative person on this board, without question. When it comes to Brodie's value, fans here will tend to forget that he had a career year with Gio this year, and while he's not carrying a pairing on his own, he's still a 2-4 guy on a lot of teams around the NHL. Best fits into the 2nd pairing with a more defensively responsible guy beside him. That carries a lot of value around the league, and I could see at the very least a 1st rounder for him.

Comparable deals:
Hamonic - 1st and 2 2nd rounders
Reinhart as someone else pointed out on here - 16th and 33rd overall
Sami Vatanen - Henrique, C level prospect and a 3rd rounder
Muzzin - 1st rounder, couple of B level prospects

The Henrique deal is probably the closest to a Nylander/Andersen swap for Brodie, and it would be hard to argue that these aren't comparable defensemen... not overly physical, good speed and both can contribute offensively when given the opportunity. Brodie is actually a much more consistent offensive producer than Vatanen...

No incentive for Columbus to make the swap IMO, but there might be enough for TO to consider making a move if they want to upgrade their 2nd pairing next year.

I think Leafs & Flames are a very strong trading match. However, I am just not sure where the Leafs would ever trade Andersen in a salary dump or much else anything else. He has a great cap hit for at least another year or two & plays a lot of games/starts. Seeing they are a 100+ point team, Andersen is a pretty darn good goalie too.

Nylander perhaps but I think you have a lot of teams that will offer better than Brodie. Also, I think we have enough of what Nylander would bring, Flames had pretty top stats for being able to score goals last year. I want grit with skill. We can probably get the grit, I would imagine Reaves will be available in Vegas given their cap situation & needing to sign Nosek & Karlsson. As much as I wouldnt mind that versus many others would scream, I think Kadri has a bit of the Tkachuk pest in him & ability to play top 6-9. Cap hits similar. I would be ecstatic with that trade. Allows Peters to really shuffle the deck of our top 9.
