I don't think it's likely either, but your comment about no player has picked Vancouver because of the view is dumb.

Give me a break. Who is their elite scoring winger? Boeser? The kid that had a red hot shootng % and was alate first round pick? A larger sample size is needed before we call him an elite scoring winger.
Has Horvat proven to be an elite defensive centre more than say Backlund?
Vancouver has the $15M cap space but thst is it. The team is not proven enough for a guy like Tavares to choose.
Calgary is likely not an option either but at least their core is more established, they have an elite D pairing, and also have one of Tavares close friends on the roster.
The Flames biggest benefit is the core veingmsjnged long term under $7M for the highest cap hit. Calgary is likely going to get Tkachuk in at thst 6-6.75 range long term and have the ability to offer a player like Tavares 10-12 per year.
If the rumor Rasta said is true (he wants to play in Canada) then the Flames likely have a legit solid shot. If that is not the case then the Flames will likely not be in the top 10 destinations.
