I'll start off by saying that Tanev is currently the better hockey player without doubt. Tanev will have 3 more years at 4.5MM and Gio will have 1 more year at 6.75MM. When we signed Tanev, our concern was not the first 2 years of the deal, but rather the last year.

What if Management doesn't want to see Gio go because he is the Captain and they want to resign him for cheap (hopefully very cheap) to retire a Flame?

Would Seattle PAY us if we left Tanev exposed to them instead of Gio? What would it take to make sense for the Flames?

Would Seattle take Lucic if we traded them Tanev for a 4th?

My ideal scenario is:

Chris Tanev for Seattle's 4th 2021

Seattle promises to take Milan Lucic in the expansion draft.
