Of course Tavares is a longshot. The most likely place for him is NYI. But if he doesn't sign with them, he has to sign somewhere.
If you go through the teams, some aren't close to being contenders, some don't have cap space, some don't have room at C. If you go down the list there are at most 10, and probably fewer, viable teams.
The Flames are definitely one of the viable teams.
Is it likely? Of course not. Is it possible, and even plausible? Absolutely it is. The Flames have as much chance as any team other than the Islanders.
