Well, considering the Flames (with good reason) thought they had a good handle on Gaudreau, at that point they are keeping the band together.
That said, there's no reaosn that proposal doesn't still work except the 2023 draft is stronger and STL may perceive Calgary to be more desperate. Still, I think Treliving is a pretty cold blooded negotiator on value. He doesn't look for huge wins and losses - he seems to look for square deals on value.
