There's not a UFA out there this year that is even remotely in Johnny's reality.
Forsberg was the closest thing (not the same player) and hes off the market.
Kadri is about to cash in on his career year which will mean he's going to get a contract that is clearly over his head.
This team needs to "pivot" as Brad suggested at the draft and realize it needs to rebuild/re-tool
This is why this all needed to be done BEFORE the draft.
Rumors of the 2nd O/A ++ being offered to Calgary for Tkachuk
Johnny's uncertainty..
HUGE miss by the Flames if Johnny's gone and we left that draft with nothing.
There's no doubt in my mind if he is in fact gone that others will want out.
That list starts with Matthew, and I'm not sure we'll get what we want for him after he signs his qualifying offer which needs to be in today I think?

I don’t know what they are going to get but they will try because Sutter is not here for a rebuild. Once Sutter and Treliving are gone then the rebuild will start
