Flames should have made a move to one of Gaudreau, Monahan, Tkachuk or Lindholm. Their top two lines are the area of concern

But if the market isn’t there, you can’t force it. Believe me, I’d like to see that too. But that doesn’t appear to be in the cards.
Backlund Monahan and gaudreau are the only incumbents since Treliving took over. So moving him would impact the dynamics in the dressing room, especially since he wears an A. He’s part of the leadership core that hasn’t delivered, so moving him would not be insignificant.
