I just can't see them going with
Gio-Anderson
Hanifin-Valimaki
Kylington- 700k
700k - 700k
Should they feel the need to resign Brodie or replacement at 6M and Talbot at fire sale 3M. and Mangiapane for 2 M It leaves pretty much just enough cap space for the 3 minimum wage forwards and 2 min wage D-men.
Forbort and Gustafsson will not be minimum wage D-men.
More than half the teams in the league will be in the same tight cap situation.
Can't see a way that St.L fits in Pietroangelo in even at his current 6.5 unless they get Steen to retire,
There is no Cap in Tampa to sign Sergachev or Cernak. Last year they would have been in the big extension pile of 1st year RFAs

With respect to our captain I hope Tre is looking for a partner to trade Gio.
Team needs to keep moving and Gio is not a fit any longer.
I respect him a lot but I did hope the organization was going to sell high off the Norris....
If they cannot trade hopefully he waives for expansion draft so a protected spot is not required to be used.
I realize this will be unpopular but the Flames all to often with older better players of value do not make moves when better return could have occurred when obvious the team is not in the tier to adequately compete for the cup.
