I personally have no problem if they expose any over 30 year old player. I don’t really see a player that is worth protecting over Backlund right now but would quickly move on and take the positives if he was claimed.
If Gio gets claimed all of a sudden the Flames have an additional 6.75M in cap space. Does Gaudreau’s trwde value increase now that the Flames could take $10M in salary back?
The only way o get behind them paying to keep Gio is if Seattle takes Lucic. Create that cap flexibility because at the end of the day Gio is far more valuable to the team than Looch.
I will be incredibly pissed of Seattle takes Kylington and we find out the Flames sent a pick so they did that
