I really would love for the flames to get Barzal. Of course there are better centres than Barzal in the league. I just think he is one that could be acquired and would be exactly what the flames need. I think he would a great fit as a playmaking center who gives the flames a different look up the middle that they have not had in a very long time.

If Markstrom starts to decline and Wolf is ready to go then we aren't in too bad of a spot. Markstrom has 4 years left and I doubt he falls off a cliff for at least 2 years. Getting rid of short term bad contracts isn't that hard if need be.
Coleman could also be a long term deal that doesn't age well. But if the cap goes up big before his contract expires $4.9 mil might not be all that bad in a $90+ mil cap world.
Eventually the cap will start to increase by more than $1 mil some seasons and having a bunch of guys wrapped up long term with extra picks and a strong farm system is a good spot to be in. Most your players are in their prime too.
