And now that Nonis is on board and Dreger is back in the know, Mitch Love apparently is "circling back" to the Flames about joining the staff.
Busy week ahead.

In a lot of ways that is probably the smartest path forward. Hanifin would become their most expensive Dman if they were able to keep him but likely the Org views him as the #3 behind Andersson and Weegar.
Backlund and Toffoli would be 35 and 32 at the start of their extensions so perhaps moving on from them makes more sense.
Lindholm is the teams best all around forward. He would bring the biggest return but would be by far the hardest hole to fill. If he is willing to stay that is the likeliest path to staying competitive.
