That said, Treliving would be smart to not take ‘what he can get’. If a move makes sense today, you do it. Also, conversations today can lead to consummating deals down the road. If the Flames do not make a trade today, I won’t be buying into the predictable and lazy narrative that they ‘did nothing’.

I think Lindholm is one of the most likley candidates to not want to re-sign. Plus, he's lost his linemates (hell, 3 of them) who he had big time success with. He justifiably probably feels underpaid at the moment, whereas Backlund, Tanev, Hanifin, Dube, Toffoli are paid right around where they deserve to be.
Hanifin's American so there's that concern. Toffoli is a guy who's been on a bunch of teams so moving's not a big deal to him either.
