I think Gaudreau is going to resign and I’m sure most Flames fans will be happy with the deal.
Tkachuk though will be different. With lost revenue due to Covid and the potential for a huge cap increase in 3 years I can see a theme for players of Tkachuk caliber and age going for 3 year deals. I’m thinking most Flames will be ok with the cap hit but hate the term
Once these 2 sign I think the Flames need to go a bit younger
Keep Gubrannson to play with Mackey
Resign Kylington short term
Pelletier to replace one of Mangiapane or Dube depending on Mangiapane contract. Prefer to keep Mangiapane but not if it close to or over $6 mil
Use an asset to trade 1 of Monahan or Lucic.
If there is an cap space left make a run at a young center that’s less proven with potential
