Eric D speculates in The Athletic that the Flames could be interested in Ekman-Larsson, even with his self-imposed deadline gone. Among the reasons are Flames management's familiarity with him, and the fact that one of the reasons he liked Vancouver was the presence of Markstrom.
Of course, Calgary does now have a heavy Swedish contingent.
