I have no problem dealing Noah. Especially if he wants a 7 or 8 year deal. He's not the #1 on a championship teams. Realistically he's a good #2 or #3, so why should he get a long term franchise deal? If the Flames can rid themselves of 2 of Markstrom, Coleman or Kadri, I wouldn't mind signing Noah to a 5 year deal but anything more I'm just reluctant. Too many non-core pieces not performing to expectations already locked into long term deals is making me skeptical of wanting another one added to the list.
