This goes for Brodie, Taffoli, anyone else. People seem to think Flames get a chance to match all contracts. Likely add 1M+ or a year to every deal to get a guy here.

No kidding. Basically all of the evidence points to Calgary being extremely undesirable. Players don't want to get traded here for the most part, and top free agents don't want to sign here.
Our leverage with Markstrom was having Lindholm here and obviously a guaranteed #1 role long term.
