I know that other teams are also in this spot but the Flames got dominated in the first round of the playoffs... not sure why we are so locked in with the existing core and they better do something in the playoffs next season
I mean.. there is no money to spend on an average goalie (around $5 MIL).. that is a bit ridiculous.
I know I am in the minority but paying Backlund almost 6 million is an overpayment because he is a 3rd line guy who can play defense. Tkachuk is really the biggest reason Backlund and Frolik have shown offense in the past few seasons. I would happily take an offensive 2nd line center and have Ryan play on the third line... with no Backlund

I think if they could get a guy that was worth that much they would find the money
Actually getting a guy like that is more the hurdle imho
