Acquiring Nylander makes ZERO sense for the Flames. Wing is already our strongest and deepest position. Nylander would arguably be our 4th best winger and would cost $8M+, along with assets to acquire.
Insanity.
If assets are going to be spend to strengthen the team, they need to be for 1) a goalie or 2) a C.
Then there is also the fact that we are already the softest team in the west.
Acquiring Nylander would cost assets we don't have, would ruin the cap situation, would strengthen our strongest position at the cost of other positions, and make us even softer.
God, I can't wait for him to sign or be traded so this ridiculous speculation can end.
