cross16 Posted August 18, 2022 Report Share Posted August 18, 2022 A first round pick is a bit higher than I thought but needing a sweetener to move Monahan is not a surprise to me at all. That part of this does hurt but they weren't going to get a center of this caliber without giving something up. I also think Monahan was a must move just due to the fact he didn't fit anywhere on the roster. Obviously the cap was required too but I really didn't see Monahan as a good fit anywhere on this roster. Montreal can't take his deal without other moves as thought so this may get complex. Unless they have an LTIR candidate i'm not aware of but my understanding is Price is going to be ready to play this year but perhaps that has changed.

The_Tribal Chief Posted August 18, 2022 Report Share Posted August 18, 2022 in away monny was a must move cause calgary needed the cap space to fit it with 7.5 mil or so of the cap the flames didnt have the cap space and besides something else this is the smartest move to make Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_People1 Posted August 18, 2022 Report Share Posted August 18, 2022 I would like to keep Mangiapane - Backlund - Coleman together. Those three were so good. I also don't think Toffoli is consistent enough to play 1st line with Lindholm/Huberdeau... Need another RW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, I know it’s a stretch but Gauthier might be the odd man out in NYR, he could probably be had for relatively cheap, and might thrive playing with someone like Huberdeau 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cross16 Posted August 18, 2022 Report Share Posted August 18, 2022 Would continue the theme of me being surprised but I'm not sure I see another RW in the cards. I think they play around with their options as they have a variety of combinations they can work with right now. If it were me right now: Huberdeau - Kadri - Toffoli Mang - Lindholm - Coleman ?? - Backs - Dube Lucic - Rooney/Ruzicka - Rooney/Ruzicka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickross Posted August 18, 2022 Report Share Posted August 18, 2022 What an off season this has been!! We have a completely different looking team. Give credit to BT for turning a disaster into opportunities that actually improve the team. I know I’m not going to like the contract terms for Kadri but this is the UFA market I suppose. Great time to be a Flames fan!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then using Mangiapane-Kadri-Coleman as more of a two-way line. Basically I think Kadri is a better playmaker than Lindholm so I like him with Mang, and Lindholm is a better shooter so I like him with the playmaker Huberdeau.

He played a bit of RW over the last two years... Didn't feel comfortable but too bad. We need him there. Huberdeau - Lindholm - Mangiapane Coleman - Kadri - Toffoli Pelletier - Backlund - Dube Dube played his best hockey on RW. Feels natural to move him to RW full time.

The longer this goes waiting for the trade details with MTL, the more I feel this is a larger deal than just Monahan and a 1st going to MTL to free cap space. Maybe Valimaki is on his way out too?

rickross Posted August 18, 2022 Report Share Posted August 18, 2022 I can stomach Kadri at the $7M, that’s fair value IMO. The 7 year term is a bit rich but it’s likely he retires closer to 4-5 years so in reality the term could much easier to digest as well. Flames won this offseason tho 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know why Dach is still unsigned. He doesn't have much leverage since he didn't put up big numbers. Maybe MTL would flip him to us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Valimaki is on his way out too? ive got a feeling more than one team has to be involved ..we cant take back salary and MTL has to clear nearly the whole 7M of room .. he will likely start on IR so that helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My hesitation with Huberdeau - Lindholm and Toffoli is getting the puck up the ice. No real puck carrier on that line. I like Mang- Lindholm because Mang can carry the puck and he is also very good at getting the puck to the high danger areas where Lindholm goes. I think Mang is an underrated playmaker.
