Seems like the UFA route would be more of a stopgap strategy.
Sounds like Markstrom and the Canucks will get something sorted out. He likes them, they like him. I doubt he leaves. Lehner has let it be known he wants term. I suspect there will be some sort of bidding war, do the Flames want to go down that road?
Outside of that, Talbot seems to be the most likely, but how much term are you giving him? 2 years, 3? Will Wolf/Parsons/Zag be ready by the
3 years ago I thought Smith was a smart add because Gilles would be ready to take the crease at the end of Smith’s deal. Didn’t workout that way.
For the Flames to become a cup contender. They’re going to have to get better between the pipes. Personally, I’d go after Murray or one of the CBJ goalies.
