Brouwer and Raymond were never goof flames and had to be bought out. Neal was traded for a guy that was regarded as the worst contract in the league and all the flames got was 500k cap space and a conditional 3rd.
Derek Ryan has been a good player for this team for 2 years and actually was very very good in year 1. When the top line cooled off after the all star break the Mangipane-Ryan-Hathaway line was huge. Engellend was a pleasant surprise who played a key role on a young team and stepped up when Gio went down in his first year with the team. Frolik was a top 6 forward and solid player during most of his contract and got the Flames an asset in his last year. Markstrom is the 9th highest cap hit at his position and was just voted 4th best goalie last season and 5th best in a recent Athletic poll of GM’s.
Czarnik came very cheap and could have most of his cap hit buried if he wasn’t on the main roster. Hiller was absolutely worth the money and then some in year 1 but then was absolutely terrible in year 2. Tanev remains to be seen but the deal feels 1-2 years too long.
List looks right to me
