CGY's Milan Lucic FOR
BOS's Derek Forbort (OR Nick Foligno + a Sweetener like Prospect: Ryan Mast, Quinn Olson, Mason Lagenbrunner or Ty Gallagher)

CGY gains some Cap Space/Lucic returns to BOS to end his career.

CGY should move 2 or either Kylington, Valimaki or Mackey. Not sure if Forbort much > Dennis Gilbert, but he's definitely a Proven & Experienced Shut Down + Penalty Killing D-Man and is already familiar with Sutter. Perhaps Foligno turns things around in CGY!?

There's absolutely no need for Forbert or Foligno. They don't fit Calgary's needs at all. They'd just be unnecessary depth players at the two positions (LW and LD) Calgary already has way more depth at than they need or can use.

Trade Looch to Boston so he can retire a Bruin sure. But make it for a pick, prospect or even future considerations not players the team has no use for.

Calgary would have to retain salary.

02 Aug 2022 00:26:03
Sure, maybe Lucic 25-50% retained for a Pick or Prospect, but we did lose 2 PK Guys in Gudbranson walking and Tanev being injured, so Forbort would be nice as a Shut Down D-Man and you're always wanting Size & Grit, which is something Foligno & Forbort bring to the table.

Wasn't long ago Foligno was putting up 0.50PPG. Not ideal, but I figure Boston would want to move Cap out if taking Lucic. Build up their value and flip them when Tanev returns, should be easier than trying to move Lucic with his Cap Hit.

02 Aug 2022 00:56:25
If Looch is just going to Boston to retire a Bruin not to play next season they don't need to move a contract out.

02 Aug 2022 00:59:21
Foligno makes nearly 4 mil and Forbort has 2 years left at 3 mil per! That's way too much for a depth forward and a downgrade on defense.

02 Aug 2022 01:38:34
If BOS needs retention, they need to offer compensation and likely to a 3rd Team, as CGY is looking to open up Cap Space, but will take a player back if it fills a need.

02 Aug 2022 02:15:35
Downgrade on Defense!? Forbort > Zadorov & Gudbranson. Forbort just turned 30 and is a Better Shut Down and PK D-Man than both. Boston has too many LD’s and need to move one of them

Yes, Foligno isn’t ideal and would be a gamble, but would do the same and probably better than Lucic @$1.45mil less. I’d prefer Tanner Pearson or Forbort for Lucic, but Foligno + a RD Prospect works as well.

You got to read the whole post @Mox, I did say 2 of Kylington, Mackey or Valimaki should be moved which would solve the excessive LD depth issue

I’d add Denis Gilbert to that list as well, but I’m pretty sure he was brought in for AHL duties and won’t make the roster, although he doesn’t look terrible and may just not have had much opportunity in COL where they have a handful of Great LD’s, so Good Luck getting TOI. Even Ryan Murray who is still good didn’t get much Play time.

Is Sutter really planning on playing Zadorov at RD till Tanev returns!? He’s okay, but not Great Defensively.

03 Aug 2022 00:39:38
More likely it'll be Zadorov at LD with either Tanev or Weegar at RD.

Everyone keeps penciling Weegar in at LD because that's where he played in Florida but in Calgary he'd be better utilized playing his natural position at RD. With the current roster anyhow.

03 Aug 2022 01:53:45
Weegar’s a Right Shot LD/ RD, but it seems to change since Toffoli is a Right Shot LW/ RW, but then Cap Friendly changed him to an RW/ LW

Toffoli is Better Overall at LW and Weegar is Better Offensively playing at LD, which let’s face it, Players prefer to play Offence right, but he is Better Defensively at RD apparently, so certainly can be used there

I’m asking about October & November when Tanev will be out with injury, who plays RD till then!? Zadorov, Meloche or do we pick up another RD like I’ve been proposing: Stralman (your idea & a very good one), PK Subban, Michael Stone, Trade for Justin Holl, Luke Schenn or Tyler Myers 50% retained!?

Kylington for Samuel Girard brings another French guy in for Huberdeau and is an improvement over Kylington but costs twice as much, he & Weegar could swap sides as they see fit if they played together

S. Girard-Weegar.
