If the Flames can't bring back Gaudreau, I do fear how they would spend the money.

I'm not crazy about giving Tkachuck over 10 per for 7-8 years given how bad his skating is. Mangiapane is tough to gage because I keep hearing how he's not a 6 million dollar player....but he just scored 35 goals last year, and did a lot of it at ES and without Gaudreau. 71 goals over the past 3 years likely has him as one of the top 60 goal scorers in that time frame. Kylington should get multiple years if you can get it from him price will depend on term. Than it's a matter of what they spend to replace Gudbransson and Zadorov. I could see them going with an expensive third pair agsin to keep the minutes for the top 4 down. So if you spend that...you just lost Gaudreau for nothing to keep the rest of the team. Which would be pretty meh.
