Apologies if this should be in the trade spec and rumors thread; however, I have heard a lot of discussion about Tavares on this board, the fan 960 and even some hockey analysts in recent days and wanted to create a topic on it to discuss further.

1. Will the Flames go after Tavares? I say they will most certainly explore the option. How could you not?

2. What are the chances Tavares would consider Calgary? I'd say he would consider the Flames due to their projected growth over the next few years. Some exciting young players in Gaudreau,Tkachuck, Hamilton. He could see himself as having the ability to push this team over the top.

3. Max term for a UFA contract is 7 years, how much $ do you think he gets per year? I've heard everything from he can hold out for the max which is 12 or perhaps he would take 10-11 to play for an upcoming team/contender.

4. If the Flames were to sign Tavares, how does that impact Monahan and Backlund? That's a lot of $ tied up in your C positions.

5. What other teams do you feel are potential landing spots?

Looking forward to some discussion!

Cheers.
