The Flames probably have a higher chance at Bedard than they do at Wright.
The Flames tend to be good one year, and bad the next. So they'll probably be good next year (and miss out on - 2022 Wright) and then be bad just in time for Bedard (2023).
Backlund, Lucic, Markstrom and Taven will be making $21 million (2022-2023) while being in their mid-thirties. The cap will still be flat. So that might really be the time to tank it.
