Hall was a bullet dodged. Bennett wouldn’t be a huge loss but Hanifin would have and that deal was made pre-Covid and the Flames rightfully wanted Hall extended before making that deal. That is easily a 8-9M per deal over 7-8 years.
Kadri we know wasn’t doable.
Not sure what offer we could have done to improve over the Laine, Roslivic offer to get Dubois? It was reported Jarmo was pushing for Tkachuk
Anderson said he was going to UFA or signing max term. The Flames would have traded Monahan for him and then had to sign either a one year rental deal or go 7 years with a guy that scored 1 goal last year.
Don’t get me wrong I get it and I agree with what you are saying. It seemed like in 2015-2018 Treliving made a lot of trades. The big ones around Hamilton, the Hamonic deal, various goalie deals but since the failed Zucker trade it sure has felt like all swings have resulted in misses.

Yea I get what you're saying too...I guess I just hope we don't miss out on the window to make that trade and/or signing that could shake up this core before it's too late. FOMO lol
