Plus, it's my understanding that there is almost no interest in Ferland from the Flames. Don't forget that the locker room was a major issue last year, and its not a coincidence that Ferland was one of the bodies leaving town.

I still don't buy this.
Gaudreau tweeted out to Ferland when we traded him, hasn't done that for anyone else.
Tkachuk was chumming it up with Ferly pre-game when he came to Calgary with the Canes.
Treliving himself explicitly had praise for Ferland after the trade and said it was a tough piece to lose. Radio silence for Hamilton on the other hand.
If Ferland was moved out for locker room reasons why would these three guys - our best forward, arguably our future captain, and our GM, have gone out of their way to treat him so well?
Ferland was moved because he was a pending UFA and Hanifin and Lindholm were high-end RFAs. It was asset management.
