By whom? Who has 4 1st round picks and 9.5 of cap room that Gaudreau would want to sign with.
Would you match 9.5M and pass on Carolina's next 4 1st round picks?
of the recently signed RFA's who would you want the Flames to offer sheet?
The Flames have a hole in their prospect pool due to getting Hamilton. Having no valid 1st round picks for 4 years (Nemisz, Erixon, Gormley, Baertschi) led to the mess where the Flames are digging out of now.
And who would you let go to accommodate the extra 9.5M? Buy out Gio? Trade Brodie and Backlund.
