This probably isn't the time to talk about it, but with the Flames upcoming cap crunch if they are somehow able to get Gaudreau/Tkachuk/Mangiapane/Kylington all re-signed, there is a very real chance that they will lose Zadarov/Gudbranson/Ritchie/Lewis and maybe even Lucic (retire/cap dump/buy out).
While it'll be amazing to keep all those high end skill players, losing that much toughness in one off season will be devastating.
I don't envy Treliving one bit this off season.
