What if Calgary Flames trade Johnny Gaudreau and Sean Monahan

 The Calgary Flames are a borderline playoff team right now but if they don't make any changes to their core they won't be making it far in the playoffs.

Two core players that have been brought up the most in trade talks are Johnny Gaudreau and Sean Monahan.


Trading Gaudreau and Monahan would allow the Calgary Flames to begin a new chapter and hopefully have more playoffs success in the long run.

Calgary Flames trade Johnny Gaudreau to the New Jersey Devils for Nikita Gusev, Michael McLeod, Jesper Bratt, Jesper Boqvist, 1st round pick '22.

The New Jersey Devils get Johnny Gaudreau, a dynamic playmaking winger, who will be a tremendous fit on a line with Hischier and Palmieri. Calgary Flames also get a top 6 forward in Nikita Gusev and a top 9 forward in Jesper Bratt, as well as two very good prospects in McLeod and Boqvist. The Flames will also the the Devils first round pick in 2022.


Calgary Flames also trade Sean Monahan to the Ottawa Senators for Josh Norris, Drake Batherson, Erik Brannstrom, 2nd round pick 2021. If Monahan puts up 60+ points, the 2nd round pick becomes a 1st round pick.

The Senators get a tremendous first line center in Sean Monahan, who just will be a tremendous fit on the up and coming Ottawa Senators. Calgary also gets three very good prospects in Norris, Batherson and Brannstrom and a 2nd round pick that could become a 1st round pick.


Jesper Bratt is re-signed to a 2 yr deal worth 3 million per season.


The Calgary Flames finish the 2020-21 season with the 5th worst record in the league but they get lucky and jump up to the 3rd pick in the draft.


The Calgary Flames buyout Milan Lucic, which costs them 583k per season until 2025. 


Calgary Flames lose Jesper Bratt in the Expansion draft to the Seattle Kraken.


Before the 2021 draft, the Flames make two major trades:

Calgary Flames trade Mark Giordano, David Rittich to the Pittsburgh Penguins for Brian Dumoulin, 1st round pick 2022.

The Penguins get a terrific defenseman in Mark Giordano and a solid 1B in David Rittich to tandem with Tristian Jarry. On the flip side, Calgary gets Brian Dumoulin, a top 4 defenseman and a 1st round pick.

The Flames acquire Juuse Saros from the Nashville Predators for 2nd round pick 2022. 

The Flames get their 1B to pair with Jacob Markstrom, while the Predators get to hand the reigns over to Connor Ingram in goal.


2021 Draft

3-Brandt Clarke

12 (from OTT)-Zachary Bolduc

41-Cole Huckins

The Flames get two blue chip prospects in Brandt Clarke and Zachary Bolduc and a very solid center prospect in Cole Huckins.



Calgary Flames re-sign Drake Batherson to a 3 yr deal worth 3.5 million per season, Juuse Saros is re-signed to a 3 yr deal worth 3.5 million per season.

Juuso Valimaki, Dillon Dube, Dominik Simon are re-signed to 2 yr deals; Sam Bennett is re-signed to a 3 yr deal.


The Calgary Flames finish the 2021-22 season with the 4th worst record but end up with the 6th pick in the draft.


2022 draft

6-Ivan Miroshnichenko

10 (from NJ)-Jack Devine

18 (from PIT)-Simon Forsmark

The Flames draft 3 top notch prospects in Ivan Miroshnichenko, Jack Devine and Simon Forsmark; all three players should be a key part of their core in the future.


Calgary Flames re-sign Matthew Tkachuk to a 8 yr deal worth 7 million per season.

Erik Brannstrom, Josh Norris are re-signed to 3 yr deals worth 3.25 million per season.


The Calgary Flames finish the 2022-23 season with the 10th worst record in the league but one team jumps them in the lottery and the drop to the 11th pick in the draft.


Before the 2023 draft, two big trades are made:

Calgary Flames trade Noah Hanifin to the New York Ranges for Ryan Lindgren, Filip Chytil, 2nd round pick 2023.

The Flames get Ryan Lindgren, a physical top 6 defenseman and Filip Chytil, a top 9 forward and a 2nd round pick, while the Rangers get Noah Hanifin, a very solid top 4 defenseman to stabilize their defense.

Mikael Backlund is traded to the Anaheim Ducks for Isac Lundstrom, Max Jones, Troy Terry, 2nd round pick 2023.

The Ducks get Mikael Backlund, a solid 2nd line center, while the Flames get Lundstrom, Jones and Terry, three solid role players and a 2nd round pick.


2023 Draft

11-Ondrej Molnar

The Flames get a very talented winger in Ondrej Molnar, that only adds to their overwhelming prospect pool.


Calgary Flames re-signed Juuso Valimaki, Dillon Dube to 4 yrs worth 4 million per season.

Ryan Lindgren, Filip Chytil is re-signed to 4 yr deals worth 3.25 million per season.

Max Jones, Troy Terry, Isac Lundstrom are re-signed to 3 yr deals.


By the 2023-24 season, the Calgary Flames have put together a very good team and could become legit contenders.


2023-24 Calgary Flames

I.Miroshnichenko-Z.Bolduc-E.Lindholm

M.Tkachuk-J.Norris-J.Devine

F.Chytil-D.Dube-D.Batherson

S.Forsmark-B.Clarke

J.Valimaki-C.Tanev

R.Lindgren-E.Brannstrom

J.Saros


Top Prospects: Cole Huckins, Ondrej Molnar


By trade Gaudreau and Monahan, the Calgary Flames now have a team that is built to thrive in the playoffs.

Fantasy Hockey Forwards to Trade For

Here is a list of Players who you should consider trading for in Fantasy Hockey. Tage Thompson Tage Thompson had very high expectations of him heading into this season but has been a massive disappointment to this point in the season with only 7 goals, 8 assists, 4 PPP, 60 SOG, and 99 FW. Thompson has been better after coming back from injury and you would think that he is going to eventually start putting points in bunches. Because of how bad Thompson's statline is this season. it would be a good idea to trade for him because you may not have to give up a lot in return.  Elias Lindholm Elias Lindholm is another player who has had a slow start to the season with only 7 goals, 10 assists, 3 PPP, 68 SOG, and 297 FW so far this season. Lindholm is definitely going to want to play better if he wants to increase his value for his next contract and also showcase himself for a trade at the deadline. If Lindholm gets dealt to a contending team, his fantasy value would drastically improve b

TIPS FOR DECIDING WHO TO KEEP FOR KEEPER/DYNASTY LEAGUES

Keeper fantasy leagues are a variation of traditional fantasy sports leagues where participants are allowed to keep a certain number of players from their previous season's roster onto their team for the upcoming season. The number of players that can be kept, as well as the specific rules regarding keeping players, vary from league to league and are typically determined by the league commissioner or by a set of agreed-upon rules among league members. In a keeper league, the kept players usually come with a cost, such as forfeiting a specific draft pick in the upcoming draft or having to pay a predetermined fee. This adds a strategic element to the game, as managers must decide which players to keep based on their performance, potential, and value relative to the cost of keeping them. Keeper leagues often provide a deeper level of engagement and strategy compared to standard fantasy leagues because managers need to consider long-term player development and roster management beyond

FANTASY HOCKEY WAIVER WIRE PLAYERS TO PICKUP

Here are some players you should pickup in Fantasy Hockey, sorted by position. Center Colton Sissons Colton Sissons is one of the best 4th line centers in the league, but in fantasy hockey, he could be even more valuable than he actually is in real life because of what he provides in the peripheral categories. So far this season Sissions has 5 goals, 1 PPP, 1 SHP, 12 PIM, 20 SOG, 89 FW, 15 hits, and 9 blocks. This is a terrific stat line and although you can't count on Sissons scoring a ton, he will fill out the FW, Hits, and blocks usually. Sissons is owned in 6% of fantasy leagues, snag him up while you can. Nick Bjugstad Nick Bjugstad is having an excellent year so far with the Arizona Coyotes, in fact he has played so well that he earned himself a promotion to play on the 2nd line along with Mattias Maccelli and Lawson Crouse. Bjugstad also gets time on Arizona's 2nd PP unit and 2nd PK unit. Bjugstad may not be a name who stands out to casuals, but his fantasy stat line is
