If Lafrenière really does become available, it's hard to argue against the Flames unloading the coffers to acquire him. If this team is serious about contending on a go-forward basis, his combination of skillset and age is what this team absolutely needs. The cost would undoubtedly be significant, but would likely have to largely be future based as neither NYR or CGY has much in the way of cap-space (unless the deal were to get more complicated).
Huberdeau - Kadri - Lafrenière
That could be something special.
