Calgary trades:
2023 1st round pick
Connor Zary @894K RFA 2024
Sean Monahan @6.375M UFA 2023
Chicago trades:
Patrick Kane @10.5M UFA 2023
Similar to a post I made early but without salary retention. No need for retention now for obvious reasons. Maybe a bit of an overpay but not if Kane extends for 2-3 years in Calgary.

How is that a overpay ? haha a 1st round pick and a prospect and capdump isn't enough
Will cost alot more than that at the deadline.

With a 2-3 Year Extension between $6-6.5mil/ yr similar to Pavelski, Giroux & Malkin, sure! CGY should sign FA Dylan Strome as well then.

Zary is in a lot of your trades, but from the outside he doesn’t look like a special prospect either physically or stats-wise. He’s 20 and hasn’t played an NHL game yet.
If Kane moves he’ll bring back a big return. Much bigger than Zary, a 1st, and a cap-dump who may never play again.
Easy no from CHI.

Don't be ridiculous, any deadline deal would almost certainly require heavy retention. This actually saves Chicago more than 4 million in cap space.
A first + a top prospect + 4 mil cap space is more than fair for a rental. Monahan could rebound next year too, if he does it's a very nice haul for Chicago.

What are you talking about Swechamp!? That's equivalent to TWO 1st Round Picks + a 3rd. Won't get any more than that without Huge Retention on Kane
CHI Traded Dach & let Dylan Strome walk. Sean Monahan & Connor Zary would be great replacements. If Monahan rebounds, they Trade him for even more Picks/ Prospects and if he doesn't they're playing for League Worst to win the Connor Bedard Draft Lottery anyways. Also, Monahan falls off the books after the season, but he will get moved or by the Trade Deadline or could be an LTIR candidate, in which insurance pays his salary I believe and they're credited with additional Cap Space.

@Chickenfoot Zary is a good prospect who will more than likely make the NHL within a couple years and be a pretty good player.
He might've been ready this year if he hadn't broken his ankle blocking a shot during the preseason last year. A year ago before the injury he was Calgary's number 1 prospect but the injury combined with players like Wolf, Pelletier and Coronato having outstanding rookie seasons in the AHL (or in Coronato's case College Hockey at Harvard) dropped him down several spots.

Further to what @MoxNix, Kirby Dach hasn't looked very good statistically either, but he's still highly valued and coveted
Assuming he's 100% healthy, Zary will have a much better year with a full training camp and playing in the AHL Heat's Top-6.

Zary actually played 9 games for the Heat 2 years ago scored 7 points (3G 4A) and looked good on the top line.
Then he went to Flames training camp was looking pretty good there but broke his ankle (or maybe it was his foot) blocking a shot in a preseason game. By the time he was ready to play again the Heat were doing great. They weren't going to mess with the top 6 chemistry so he got stuck in a bottom 6 role for the year. As it often does after recovering from an injury like that it took him a while to get going again too.
Next year he'll either be back on the top line again or centering the second line.

Even as a rental kane would get 2 1sts plus a better prospect. Id like to see kane in Calgary but would never waive unless calgary's 1st in the league at the deadline.

Mox, if I’m wrong about your Zary, I’ll be happy to acknowledge it. That trade is very light for Kane. Fan bases tend to over-value their prospects. Kane will draw a LOT more. That’s not an insult, it is simply a non-Flame fan point of view. I respect you love your flames, but come on man, this isn’t close.
