Flames Add Matthews
In talks that took place over the past couple weeks, things heated up after the acquisition of Aho and a blockbuster deal was completed.
To the Flames:
Auston Matthews
To the Avalanche:
Krebs
Morgan Rielly
Sebastian Aho
5 mill in cap
This was a tough deal to make as Pat held firm on the price and I had to send cap to get it done now. It is yet another enormous cost but results in Matthews coming to Calgary. I have been after Matthews pretty much since his rookie season. Now I have a core of Mackinnon, Matthews and Makar. The roster is essentially dead space aside from those guys but we will continue to rebuild over the offseason and then supplement the squad using the 8 firsts in 2022 next year.
