Ghost and a first wouldn't work cap wise.

Flyers would need to send another roster player to fit JG under the cap.

-A first and a top level prospect - yes.
-Gostisbehere - No. Don't need him - Flames strength is their young Defence: Valimaki, Andersson, Hanifin, Kylington. Need a better roster player than Gostisbehere, and not a defenceman.
-Need to throw in more than those 3 pieces. Gaudreau is on a very team friendly contract of 6.75 mil per year for the next 2 years - that type of contract has its own cost.

Anyway, this is all hypothetical - he won't be traded - at least not during this season.

I may wind up with egg on my face but I find the whole trade Gaudreau rumors crazy. Why does Calgary want to trade him? Due to 25 supar games? Ignore his previous play? The fact that Gaudreau grew up in S. Jersey does not give him ties to the Flyers in any way.

Gostisbehere and one of their top prospects along with a #1 pick would get it done I am told.


Really?? I dont think so

yes it does if you knew that his father is very friendly with many in the organization.

Konecny, a top prospect and an unprotected first would get it done.
The Flames would eat the difference between JG and Konecny's salary for this year to make the cap work.

They don’t. Some fans do because he’s not a physical guy and he’s going through a rough patch.

Given his very friendly deal, Ghost isn't a bad option with Hamonic and Brodie expiring this year and Vali having already had 2 fairly significant leg injuries since being drafted, we don't really know what he is just yet.

If you're moving Gaudreau, that is actually one of the least farfetched offers out there..

It wouldn’t work period!! Maybe add Konecy (sp)

Besides we don’t need or have room for Ghost.

Can't see Philly moving Konecny, he's having a great season and that contract he just signed will look even better if he continues this pace or further exceeds it.

I agree, maybe they look at it in the off season.

Ummmmmm how about no. That would be a no. As much as I like Lohnny G that's far to much.

There's no chance Gaudreau's getting traded. It's the same nonsense narrative that always comes up that a player just wants to play where he grew up. Besides Tavares, when has that actually happened?

The Flames would never get a fair return and it would take far more than 6.75 million to replace what he brings. They're not going to trade him and will resign him for way too much in two years.

Forget the players and cap for a second...where would Gaudreau even play on the Flyers?

Giroux-Frost-Konecny
Lindblom-Couturier-Voracek
Laughton-Hayes-Farabee
JvR-Raffl-Pitlick

1) Not replacing Giroux and personally find it stupid to move G back to center
2) Not replacing Lindblom, unless he is part of the trade. Losing a lot of defensive responsibility and overall game for more offensive pop. Lindblom is going to be a RFA, but leads the team in goals.
3) Seems silly to have Gaudreau on the 3rd with Hayes, which would be interesting, but very unlikely.

As for players:
Ghost makes sense. Change of scenery and Calgary most likely losing 2-3 defensemen to UFA (unless they can talk them into resigning for cheaper.

2020 1st round pick
Again makes sense, Flyers are stocked with youth and many more to come. Big chip for a trade in a deep draft.

Prospect?
Frost...Nope.
Farabee...doubtful.
Brink...possible.
O'Brien...possible.
Rubtsov...possible.
Vorobyev...would be a good pickup to give him a legit shot.

Roster player?
Patrick...injured and extremely doubtful.
Konecny...not as a throw in, Calgary would have to balance out the trade. Extremely doubtful.
Lindblom...possible.
Laughton...possible and would balance out salary cap.

No...Giroux, Couturier, Voracek (too much), Hayes (NMC), JvR (too much), Provorov, Sanheim, Myers, Niskanen.

Disagree.
While I believe its very unlikely he is moved in season.
I do believe if the Flames miss the playoffs this year there is a good chance he is moved this coming off season.
So my comments aren't misconstrued, I am saying there would be a good chance he is traded for fair market value not GIVEN away.

He's a superstar making four million less than he's worth for two more years. They're not getting a superstar back in a trade and trading a superstar hardly ever works out. A fair market value trade is impossible.

There's also no chance the Flames miss the playoffs. They've played like absolute garbage so far and they're still right there. They've had a brutal schedule so far and Gaudreau is going to get going eventually. Wouldn't be shocked if they've caught the Oilers by the time they play on the 27th.
