Rumour out there is Mathew Tkachuk wants out of Calgary. I'd imagine he'd fetch a couple of 1sts and a nice prospect

He’s never said that though lmao.

I’ve never seen anything on him wanting out.

@websjac that’s because he doesn’t. His name is floating around in trade rumours because St. Louis media has been dropping articles on a trade idea for the blues to acquire him after the blues and flames playoff failures.

Yeah I’d say odds on that are slim to none. I know MoxNix doesn’t like the idea of a rebuild, but if I’m Calgary I’d trade Gaudreau, Monahan, Giordano, Tanev, and Backlund for young pieces. Then give the C to Tkachuk and make it his team to lead.

Sports analyst Shane O’Brian said on his talk show that Mathew Tkachuk time in Calgary is rumoured to be coming to a end. Maybe do a quick google search before getting emotional.

I’ve heard a million Rumors, maybe don’t believe everything you hear.

@Websjac

I wouldn't be opposed to trading any of those 4 players though I wouldn't trade Tanev unless I had an acceptable replacement for him. I wouldn't trade both Monahan and Backlund without getting a replacement top 6 center back either.

And yes, Tkachuk should be made captain.

Well if blowing up on Hfboards and Shane O’Brian broke the Hall trade, Lucic signing Hamilton for Hanfin/ Lindholm trade, Kesler trade, etc he’s very accurate with the western teams. Seems like there is a lot of mad flames fans here lol.

Make that any of those 5 players.

Trading Gio would be good both to free up some cap and open up the captaincy for Tkachuk. They'll have the option to resign him for less in a year's time too.

Tanev is probably the hardest one to replace unless it's with a player like Seth Jones who will cost a lot more than just Tanev to trade for and likely gets well north of 7 mil/ yr on a new contract.

To trade Gaudreau, Monahan or Backlund I'd want to get a top 6 center or a top 6 RW in return. Depending who is coming back I'd probably want both center and winger if I'm trading 2 of them and almost certainly if I'm trading all 3.

@Nylander I’m not a flames fan. Even if it’s true that he wants out, that’s ages away from materializing a trade. I heard in 2018 that Eichel wants out of Buffalo and am still hearing it.

The guy who broke this rumour said Tkachuk would be open to playing on St Louis. He also said that they would have to give up Tarasenko and Parayko to ge the deal done.

Nobody wants Taresenko now. He hasn't been the player he used to be since the shoulder injury.
