Trevor Neufeld: Up or Down? Examining the Flames’ draft shuffles in the modern era

NY selling.

What are we giving up to bring Rempe home?

Move down from #32 to #42?

Thanks Trevor!

Great read. If I read between the likes maybe you are saying they should be trying to trade up father than trade down.

Only for a centerman though.

Move down from #32 to #42?

I mean, why not? The kid is horrible at hockey but he is still a gamer.

Not sure Montreal would be willing to trade Xhekaj. Or maybe Anderson to Montreal might be a thing.

Speaking of Calgary’s first. If the Flames wanted to offersheet a player, I believ they would have to have posesión of their own first? Cam anyone shed light on that?

Connys got a good hockey sense, I think he has a plan for Anderson, drafting and so on. Quite possible we see a younger team next year.

Gotta be their own. St. Louis even re-acquired their second last year in order to sign Broberg to an offer sheet .

Can’t remember which insider said it, but they had heard that the Flames were trying hard to make a trade for Xhekaj work.

Would definitely like to see Xhekaj come back for Andersen, but it sounds like they want a 2nd line center more.

Not sure what kind of price it would take to get Robertson out of Dallas, I would imagine it would need to be massive. Imagine a trade of Andersen at 50%, Honzek, Mews, #18 & #31 for Robertson & Bourque & take back Dumba as well. Probably not enough, but that would be intriguing. Gives Dallas futures, cap space & a badly needed RHS top 4 D.

Very interesting on both fronts

Feels like his name is coming up because he wants Draisatl money next contract. Probably worth it, but that’s a lot for a winger.

Kadri would be a great mentor in Montreal. I really feel like now is the time to bottom out. SELL HIGH on vets while you still can.

If there is a chance to dump Kadri and huberdeau yes you take it all day long but not a the cost of a prospect or higher pick

An offersheet involves next years picks, as the draft is help before offersheet season.

If Conny were to offer sheet someone... who should he target? Knies? Rossi?

Banned for either a month or two. Turns out the Oilers blogger is a bit of a Karen.

Seen this... what do you all think?

Anneheim Ducks receive:

D MacKenzie Weegar
2025 first-round pick (from Florida)

Calgary Flames receive:

D Drew Helleson
F Nathan Gaucher
2025 first-round pick (10th overall)
2027 second-round pick (from St. Louis)

I don't know enough abut the Anaheim players coming back but I believe Weegar is the next captain of the team. He is pretty much the only Vet I don't want traded. It would take A LOT to trade him IMO.

Maybe Anneheim will take Anderson instead

I have heard of a few that have gotten banned for saying something about the questionable reputation of Oilers. Most weren't even in the Oilers threads and some bans occurred several days/weeks after the comments.
