He also mentioned the Sharks, which is a great place to play and anyone that plays there seems to love it.

Dallas pays Benn $9M per, Seguin is a year away from needing $10M and Tavares is going to cost $10-$11M. Not sure Dallas can make it work unless the flip Seguin for assets.
That is the one true strength for Calgary. They do not have a $7M player and outside of possibly Tkachuk they won’t have one soon (barring trade). They have several young pieces in place and the cap flexibility to pay for a superstar.
If he and Hamonic are super tight I could see the Flames getting consideration. Still the most likely scenario is he stays in the east.
