The next 2-4 years are what matters.
This group might actually get it done in that time frame - if they don’t, they certainly won’t when Huberdeau is 34 and Kadri is 38.
Huberdeau and Weegar’s combined cap hit is $9.15M - that’s $600k less than Gaudreau on his own.
The league is fairly wide open this year - nobody except Boston is having a gang busters season, and everyone that’s teetering on the edge would rather sell for a better shot at a higher pick.
The Flames aren’t selling. And if they’re not selling, they better be buying. That’s the position they’ve put themselves in.
It makes no sense to do everything they did this summer and not swing for the fences with a deadline acquisition on the level of Patrick Kane (who I do despise as a person).
