Pretty sure his qualifying offer this summer is high as well. The cost to get him would have to be like acquiring a rental for it to be a decent move. That would make it so the flames could choose not to qualify him in the offseason if he wasn’t a fit or if he wouldn’t fit in the cap structure of the team. Don’t want the team to feel forced to sign him because they payed a bunch of assets to acquire him at the TDL.
Overall, I just don’t see him working out. He is the current era’s version of Alexander Semin I think.
