It will be interesting to see how many American based players with nice/ntc’s agree to come to Canadian based teams

The Flames are very close to be highly ranked contenders who could be looking for the final piece by the time the deadline rolls around. This team has elite analytics and if they can take care of business at home before the deadline they are likely 1st or comfortably 2nd in the division.
They have an elite first line, top end goalie, solid blueline, and a HOF coach. They need some high end forward depth. Maybe Giroux doesn’t waive to come here but the team itself could easily be positioned as a contender looking for that piece to get them over
