Let’s see how Brad makes it work but when you have 2 star players talk about loving the city and wanting to stay then they need to make it happen. We are talking about 2 top 10 scorers in the league last year. 1 is a pending UFA that we can’t lose and the other is just 24 years old.
Lindholm is the other core forward luckily he is on one of the best non ELC deals in the league.
I think the Flames top line has the ability to be the Western version of Boston’s perfection line. Dominant for years to come. Keep them together and move on from others. Easier said than done but that is Treliving’s job

Backlund was the Flames best player against the Oilers...him, Coleman, Mangiapane the best line
