With Andersson deal done, it’s time to complete the sell off before the trade deadline. Priority:moving off Coleman, whitecloud, and Kadri while their value is higher than. Target: draft capital in the short term.
To Dal: Blake Coleman, Brayden Pachal (tough because I like Pachal)
To Cgy: 2027 1st, Emil hemming/ cam Schmidt, Ilya lybushkin (cap dump)
To Utah: Nazem kadri (50% retained), Ryan Lomberg
To Cgy: 2026 1st, Cole Beaudoin, 2026 2nd (Utah has 3, Cgy takes the worst pick)
To Buf: zach Whitecloud
To Cgy: 2026 1st
Moving Pachal and whitecloud ensures parekh and Brzustewitz get playing time. Lybushkin becomes 7D to insulate them.
Picks added: Buf 1st, Utah 1st, Utah 2nd, Dal 1st (2027)
Prospects added: Beaudoin, Hemming/ Schmidt
Perfect draft weekend? Win lottery, draft stennberg/ Mckenna. Package buf/ Utah pick with the 2026 Vegas pick to move up and grab maholtra, Lawerence, Smits, or carels, with the remaining Utah or Buf 1st, select bpa opposite position from your second pick. Ex. If you grabbed Lawerence or maholtra, use third pick to take hakansson, Macbeth or Gustafsson. If you got smits or carels, use that third pick on best C available like bjork, Hurlbert, Suvanto, or hemming.
Enter 2027 with 3 picks (Cgy, Dal, VGK)
Potentially enter 2028 with 2+ picks (Cgy, VGK - cup conditional)
Profit.

I know it makes sense to trade Blake Coleman while the Flames can get something for him, but the teams that are continuously mentioned have zero draft capital and anyone in the age range is under long term, expensive contracts. Maybe a list of prospects yet to crack the top level might be the way to go.
24 Jan 2026 19:56:33
I don’t think a 34 year old 35 point player making 5M will get much in a trade. 50% retained and/ or a bad contract has to be part of it.
13 Jan 2026 20:48:59
To Cgy
Patrick Laine 25% retained
1st rd pick
To Habs
Coleman
3rd
16 Jan 2026 13:47:42
Too much for Coleman. He's a bottom 6 player with some upside which the Habs have plenty of.
If that pick is to get Laine's contract of the books, if I'm Habs management I'd rather keep the 1st since the contract expires this year. I also don't think Laine's value is negative once healthy, he's still a 25-30 goal scorer and would be a great PP asset on a lot of playoff teams
16 Jan 2026 18:46:39
If they are moving off that contract it would have to mean
1) They are bringing in a bigger piece that's gonna eat up some cap
2) Habs management feel they can compete for a cup now
I think they'd be better off just staying the course. They've drafted exceptionally well; players are developing well; and because of it are ahead in their rebuild without any huge moves. Keep stocking the cupboard with prospects. Some to develop for the team and some to use as trade chips to add high end pieces.
17 Jan 2026 22:20:40
I dont know how they do it, but Laine with McDavid??? Maybe???
I dont see a home for him now In Montreal, so if anyone wants him.. let him go, but I wouldnt send assets to get him out as he is gone anyway at end of season.
Not giving up a 1st for Coleman.. maybe Mesar.
21 Jan 2026 17:29:41
Laine and a first for future considerations. Just like Monahan dump.
22 Jan 2026 03:27:44
Id prefer to keep him and let him walk on July 1
13 Jan 2026 20:43:41
To Cgy
Axel Sandin-Pellikka
Nate Danielson
Michael Brandsegg-Nygård
1st rd 2026 pick
To Det
Rasmus Andersson
Henry mews
14 Jan 2026 17:52:53
anderssen is good no question but that's too much from detroit!
09 Dec 2025 15:38:32
CGY trades Anderssen for Owen Power...plus a top prospect from Buffalo
10 Dec 2025 17:33:32
Flames would jump on that in a heartbeat…………. dont think sabres throw in prospect.
26 Oct 2025 06:20:10
TOR Receives:
Weegar
Farabee
2026 3rd round pick
CGY Receives:
Cowan
Robertson
2026 2nd round pick
2027 5th round pick
Ii know there will be a lot of leafs fans on here id even suggest trading Cowan but I think this is fair value. Toronto desperately needs help on D and the fact they couldn't get anything for Marner means they need to bounce back with a win now trade or risk losing the 3 Atlantic spots to FLA, MTL, DET.
As for Calgary they get a nice offensive prospect that won't be ready for 1-2 years which fits if they are able to score a top 5 pick this year, they get someone younger to replace farabee which hasn't worked and then they upgrade a 3 to a 2
26 Oct 2025 17:46:16
Calgary would get better offers than that.
26 Oct 2025 19:03:03
I'm sure you are joking, Calgary should lock Leaf's phone number with a proposal like that.
27 Oct 2025 23:59:47
CGY will so much better trading Weegar alone.
26 Nov 2025 15:20:20
Actually, to all you TO fans. As a Flames fan I feel it our obligation to provide you with WEEGAR (75% retained), ANDERSON (75% retained) and take Domi and whatever other dud you feel we deserve!
18 Oct 2025 16:43:19
Potential landing spots for Rasmus Andersson an Blake Coleman:
To Cgy: Lian Bischel, Dal 2026 1st
To Dal: Rasmus Anderson (50% retained), Cgy 2026 3rd
To Cgy: Spencer Gill, Jack Murtagh, Egor Zamula
To Phi: Rasmus Andersson (50% retained), Jake Bean
........
To Cgy: Jakob Ihz - Wozniak, VGK 4th
To VGK: Blake Coleman (50% Retained)
To Cgy: Charlie Stramel
To Min: Blake Coleman and Daniil miromanov
To Cgy: Joseph (cap dump) Otto Stennberg and Theo Lindstein
To Stl: Blake Coleman (50% retained), Martin pospisil and Arsenii Sergeev
Biggest deal:
To Cgy: tij iginla, Cole Beaudoin and maverick Lamoureux
To Utah: Rasmus Andersson (50%retained) and Blake Coleman (50% retained)
18 Oct 2025 19:22:21
Maybe re-visit these trades nearer the deadline. Think they could happen but I don’t think it’s time yet for the Flames to be giving up on the season yet. Types of trade if the Flames decide to go in a rebuild mode.
19 Oct 2025 16:20:34
This is Pinball bad.
20 Oct 2025 16:26:33
At least Anderson and Coleman are real nhl players. Lol.
23 Aug 2025 03:06:29
3 way trade between habs , Vegas and Calgary
Montreal - William karlson
Vegas- rasmus anderson
Calgary- Mike Matheson
Slavkosky Suzuki. Caufield
Demidov Karlson laine
Newhook Dach Bolduc
Gallagher Evans Anderson
23 Aug 2025 14:17:02
Very bad for Calgary. If they trade Anderson it will be for youth.
23 Aug 2025 16:18:07
That's a big downgrade for Calgary. Montreal is giving up the least and getting the most.
21 Aug 2025 07:46:40
Calgary trades - Kadri, 3rd round pick 2027
Carolina trades: kotkaniemi, Nadeau, 1st round pick 2026
Ehlers Aho Jarvis
Svech Kadri Stankoven
Hall Staal Blake
Pretty solid forwards that the canes have needed.
Calgary gets a good prospect and a first while taking on the kotkaniemi contract
21 Aug 2025 13:47:07
I think this is a good basis of a deal. I think CAR would have to add a 2nd or similarly valued prospect to complete this offer.
I would also agree that KK gets traded before camp opens. He just isn’t a Rod Brind’amour kind of player.
21 Aug 2025 04:20:29
Flames send Anderson, Zary, Honzek and 2nd round pick to Ducks
Ducks send Mctavish and Zellweger to Flames.
21 Aug 2025 13:48:42
CGY adds to make a deal possible. ANA has shown patience in making moves when trading their assets.
03 Aug 2025 00:27:04
Montreal trades with Calgary
MTL sends : matheson, Newhook and a 3rd round pick
To flames for : Kadri and rasmus Anderson
Flames are real thin on left d so matheson makes sense , Newhook is 10 years younger than Kadri
Habs get the better player for their timeline in Kadri and get a good rhd to play with Hutson
Slavkosky Suzuki Caufield
Demidov Kadri laine
Dach Evans Bolduc
Gallagher veleno Anderson
Kapanen
Beck
Guhle. Dobson
Hutson andersson
Xehjaj carrier
Struble reinbacher
03 Aug 2025 13:44:02
Horrible for Calgary.
03 Aug 2025 18:02:59
- Kadri is still productive, but he’s 34 now and will be 38 in the final year of his contract. I’m not sure his age is the right fit for the Habs’ core.
- A fairer version of this deal might be:
Matheson
2026 2nd
Mesar (RW Prospect)
Kadri
- CGY would yield better returns trading Anderson and Kadri separately, and good as he is, the Habs don’t need Anderson.
26 Jun 2025 00:30:02
Tampa:Gabriel Szturc,3rd
Calgary:Coleman
Chicago:3rd
Calgary:Backland
Dallas:Robertson,bourque
Calgary:Andersson -50%rtn,Zary,Mews,1rd via Florida,2nd
11 Jun 2025 00:49:57
Calgary: Anderson
Dallas: Bichsel
Just wondering where the value could be in a trade like this
23 May 2025 23:20:11
My very Flames-favoured offseason (feel free to cook me)
Draft Weekend:
To CGY: 2nd overall
To SJ: Connor Zary, Rasmus Andersson, Sam Honzek/Aydar Suniev, Henry Mews
To CGY: 13th overall, 75th overall
To DET: Blake Coleman (50% retained for 2 seasons), FLA 1st (29-32), Daniil Miromanov
Calgary Drafts:
2 - Micheal Misa/Matthew Schaefer
13 - Brady Martin/Jake Obrien
18 - Braeden Cootes/Roger McQueen
54 - Eric Nilson/Cole McKinney/Will Horcoff
75 & 80 - Theo Stockselius/Philip Veilleux/Filip Ekberg/Peyton Kettles/Haoxi Wang
July 1st:
To CGY: Marco Rossi
To MIN: Nazem Kadri
(This deal doesn't NEED to happen if Calgary gets misa + Martin but that's unlikely to happen)
CGY signs Rossi to 7x7
Sign Vlad Gavrikov 7m x 3 years to play with Parekh (or with Weegar if Bahl is better with Parekh)
Resign Vladar or go sign Jake Allen if you don't trust Devin Cooley.
Extend Bahl (RFA) to 5m x 7-8 years
Extend Wolf (RFA) to 8-9m x 8 years
Sign Frost to 2-3 years at most. $ doesn't matter for that contract (call it between 3.5-5m).
Roll into opening night with:
Huberdeau-Rossi-Coronato
Sharangovich-Frost-Pospisil
Stromgren-Backlund-Farabee
Lomberg-Kirkland-Klapka
Gavrikov-Weegar
Bahl-Parekh
Kuznetsov-Pachal
Bean
Wolf
Vladar
The hope is this roster is dog water and lands us Mckenna, Stennberg, or Rooboreck.
Enter 2026 with
Mckenna-Rossi-Coronato
Sharangovich-Misa-Gridin
Huberdeau-Frost-Farabee
Stromgren-Pospisil-Klapka
24 May 2025 19:54:08
That is very busy. If they could pull that all off they would be set for future.
26 May 2025 19:23:14
Great thoughts. I feel you are selling low on Anderson. Anderson (with 50% retained and then an extension with the new team), Honzek and Mews should get you the 2025 second.
Instead of the Detroit trade I would take the same Calgary players and make the trade with Minnesota for Rossi.
This should put us near a McKenna draft position since Wolf is going to have an off year.
13 May 2025 22:41:35
I think Calgary should try for 2 overall pick from the San Jose Sharks.
to Sharks:
Kirill Zarubin
Étienne Morin
18th and 22nd pick this year
to Calgary:
2nd and 33rd pick this year
14 May 2025 01:23:57
I can't see that being of any interest to San Jose. If you want a high value piece you need to offer a high value piece.
Teams prefer the dollar player over 4 quarter players.
14 May 2025 15:28:06
I think the #1 pick could be in play. The #2 isn't.
15 May 2025 12:31:28
@Henklin it would make sense to seen a drop from 1 to 3 so the islanders can draft Hagens who is a hometown boy.
12 May 2025 03:14:39
Two trades that would solidify end of habs rebuild
1- mtl trades with rangers
MTL sends : Mailloux, 16th overall and Adam engstrom
To rangers for: Alexis Lafrenière ( 6foot2, 200 pounds) 23 yr old 6 yrs left at 7.4 per
2- mtl trades with ny islanders
MTL sends 17th overall Joshua Roy and a second round
To islanders for Bo horvat (6foot1 215 pounds) 30 yr old 6yr left at 8.5 per
Lines
Slavkovsky Suzuki Caufield
Lafrenière Horvat Demidov
Newhook Dach laine
Anderson Evans Gallagher
Habs could try and trade for pending free agent Rasmus Anderson
MTL sends : heinemen, second round, struble
To Flames for Anderson
Def
Anderson Hutson
Carrier Guhle
Xhejaj matheson.
12 May 2025 16:14:07
- seems like a huge overpay for Lafrenière, who took a big step back this season.
- Horvat is a great target for MTL, but the Isles would likely want a better prospect than Joshua Roy, who I just don’t see developing into an every-day NHL player.
- Andersson is very good, but MTL would be better off graduating Mailloux or Reinbacher. If neither is ready, a trade for someone with more term than one year would undoubtedly be favoured.
12 May 2025 17:40:44
I'm thinking for Horvat the Habs would probably have to offer up Micheal Hage , which I wouldnt be comfortable doing, however to get these type of players, ya need to give up something as well.
Id like to see Lafrenier be added, however, I don't know what that looks like atm..
Have the management given up on Dach as the 2nd line guy?? I'm torn on this. I dont think I'm quite ready yet. However his injury history is obviously worrisome..
14 May 2025 14:38:14
I haven’t given up on Dach yet . Tage Thompson is a hopeful comparison, he started coming into his own at age 24, that’s where Dach is now, but I think for this year he’s better suited for the 3c role.
30 Apr 2025 02:31:57
I really believe the Habs will take a serious shot at Crosby:
Crosby
Vs
2x 1st round Pick in 2025 (Habs and CGY)
2x 2nd round Pick in 2025 (Habs and Pens)
Mailloux
Dach
Kapanen
Beck
Laine (or not)
Habs become playoff regular and Pens start the unevitable rebuild.
As a Habs fan, I rather not trade Hage, but it may be a dealbreaker...
30 Apr 2025 15:43:23
Probably a little less than no chance Crosby leaves Pittsburgh if what he and what Pittsburgh's management have said is to be believed.
02 May 2025 05:29:44
27 year old Gretzky didnt even get half that. I'm a huge Crosby fan, but no way would I wanna see all that for a soon to be 38 year old .
Ya want Crosby.. here is a more realistic proposal
To Mtl..
Crosby
To Pgh.
Dach
Engstrom
Cgy 2025 1st
MTL 2025 2ND
And that's that.. all that id pay.
25 Apr 2025 13:18:35
At The Draft.
Calgary Trades
RAndersson*
7th Round Pick 2026
Toronto Trades
Kampf
Benoit
Hildeby (AHL)
2nd Round Pick 2025
*Flames retain 50% of RAndersson's expiring contract next season.
Treliving last off season and at the deadline focused on Defense more than Forwards which is showing how important that was, RAndersson would fit in very well on The Leafs and a proposal like this get's the summer going on the right foot.
Flames have some good prospects especially on The Right side of Defense that makes RAndersson available, Kampf is their 4th line Center, Benoit is a very serviceable Defenceman and adding Hildeby and a 2nd Rounder makes it make sense for The Flames to pull the trigger.
Thoughts ?
25 Apr 2025 18:19:00
I would alter the trade so that Matthew Knies would be included. Calgary is looking for young wingers and could throw in higher draft in 2026. Toronto is or will be in cap hell soon.
25 Apr 2025 22:54:16
Big NO from Flames for many reasons.
26 Apr 2025 02:57:43
@GM Speculator
I think that Calgary is targeting centers before wingers if possible. But I do agree that knies could be a good fit.
27 Apr 2025 15:33:18
I would go after Knies but so would everyone else. If you're willing to cough up offer sheet prices why not go:
TO TORONTO:
Rasmus Anderson
2025 1st Round (18th OA)
2026 2nd Round
TO CALGARY:
Mitch Marner
2025 3td Round
Marner (C, RH) checks two needs.
27 Apr 2025 16:03:32
2newgatden. you realize 1 is signed and other is a fa? Why would calgary trade that much for early signing rights. Maybe sign and trade.
30 Apr 2025 14:04:35
You've been told a billion times pinball, quantity isn't equal to quality. Always scraps.
01 May 2025 20:04:25
Typically one-sided trade from the #1 repeat offender.
If CGY wanted to trade Andersson they’d get a better return than this yard sale. (My guess is he re-signs in CGY. )
Treliving would never propose such a credibility-busting nonsense trade like this.
18 Apr 2025 21:22:00
Flames: Rasmus Anderson
Kraken: Shane wright
Just wondering what the value looks like to other people the flames would probably have to add but how much
18 Apr 2025 22:10:36
I like Andersson, but if I'm Seattle I'm not trading a 21YO 4th OA pick for one year of a soon to be 29 YO defenseman.
14 May 2025 16:43:11
Shane Wright could learn a lot from Kadri. With Catton coming wondering what it would take to get him out of Seattle.
13 Apr 2025 04:45:00
