Since each would need likely a 50% retention, neither would come cheaply.
Even Toews, who played better in the 2nd half last year after missing a season due to Covid or whatever, would likely bring in a first round pick at the trade deadline if he continues to look fairly good. He would certainly be a nice add to the Flames for a playoff run.
I doubt Kopitar gets moved at all.
