I wonder if the Flames could send an offer sheet or maybe even trade Gillies/Rittich or even both for his rights.
Saros is a question mark for sure but I think he's going to be a starter for a long time. Would rather have him than Grubauer. Saros could split time with Smith for next year, plus he'd be another Finnish goalie and they are well-liked in Calgary.
Hellebuyck is also an RFA but I doubt the Jets wouldn't match anything reasonable. Gibson is an RFA next year but I think the Ducks will lock him up as soon as they can.

Nashville would probably match and if they really had to would trade rinne. Rumours are this is probably rinne last year in nashville
