The Flames will look to lock him up this off-season for something in the Bennett range and, likely, less. He may not score 35 goals. And he is a bit hot and cold. But I'm taking the over on 22.5 goals next year if he plays on the top line.

exactly...
hoping that BT learned from the Byron mistake... while a slightly different situation, they should have rolled the dice exposing Hiller, a 34 year old goalie with a 4.5 million cap hit...
Brouwer is a useful player, but i'd protect Ferland 1000 times out of a 1000 and roll the dice that LV would be reluctant to take on a 31 year with a 4.5 M cap hit...
MacPhee makes that exposure dangerous, but if you expose Ferland i'd think he'd be as good as gone
