...the Flames should really get this work done, and yes they should retained 50% on Gio to get it done.

I also found it really interesting, and depressing at the same time, when the conversation led them to the juncture of "moving core pieces" yet at the same time, noting that Sutter was brought here to win now.
There is no way I believe the flames are better next season or even the year after, if they move Gaudreau, Monahan, Giordano. My belief is that though there may be salary coming back in any such deals, the core value would be in futures, as such, the top line C/LW and top D man slots on the roster, would be degraded.
What a predicament the franchise is in....
