Sounds like the flames have to stay under $3.6 million offers to only have the cost be a 2nd. Small chance at Shattenkirk, McDonagh and Alzner. Flames are in no position to be giving up 2014 first round picks.

Fans need to give up on the idea of Pietrangelo. The Blues know they have to spend big money on him and it would take an offer sheet of $7million + to get him out. The huge contract with the loss of a couple of firsts is not worth it. The flames rebuild will take a long time and should not be rushed.

As for forwards on offer sheets, Berglund and Stewart are probably out of the flames price range condsidering the draft picks needed to do it. Maybe Clutterbuck at under $3.6 million could get it done.

Flames need to know exactly which guy they want to target when RFA signings are allowed. They don't get to throw out a bunch of RFA offers and hope that one of them sticks.
