One thing the flames have going for them this season with trading players like Lindholm or Hanifin is that the free agent class is really bad. Not much top end talent available so teams will have to look to the trade route for players. Also, both Hanifin and Lindholm have high value contracts. Their cap hits are very reasonable for what they bring. If the flames chose to retain any salary, they could be worth even more.

Consider if the flames retained >30% of either contract, it could boost the value even more… although I doubt they will. I don’t think the ownership of the flames is a big fan of that… especially following a year when the team signed its biggest contract ever and fired a coach with two years left on his deal.

The potential to get 3rd overall is enticing. Would absolutely love that.
