And Toffoli isn't a rental.
The Flames could probably have him for 2 full seasons and then trade him for a very similar return at the deadline in 2024 should they be sellers at that point in time.

I think Montreal truly made out like bandits in the end:
- Signed Toffoli as a UFA
- First season he scores at a 40+ goal pace for them
- Helps Montreal win 3 rounds en route to a Stanley Cup finals appearance
- Then is traded for a 1st round pick, 5th and Heineman
