That really is interesting.
Flames would likely have to move out Stone, and buyout Brouwer to make it happen but if they did that and then filled the rest of the roster with guys on an ELC they could probably offer up to a $10M per season contract.
Gaudreau - Tavares - Bennett
Tkachuk - Monahan - Ferland
Jankowski - Backlund - Frolik
Mangiapane - Shore - Foo
Lazar - Hathaway
Giordano - Hamilton
Brodie - Hamonic
Kulak - Andersson
Kylington
Smith
Rittich
That roster would have a cap hit of about $74M for your 23 man roster if you signed Tavares to a $10M per season contract.

I could still see the Flames potentially moving out a Brodie or Frolik and upgrading elsewhere upfront if they can land Tavares.
I had zero hope but with the back to back wins by that source I have upgraded my hopes slightly.
