Remember when people said not to get ahead of ourselves due to over-achieving this season, and not to mortgage the future for post-apex players? That still holds, and that is why the Flames do not need or want Malkin.
Even for free. If he was a free agent and was willing to come here for a "discount" 9.5 million/year for 6 years, it would be a bad idea. Giving up assets for him makes it terribad.
