Hopefully they can resign Lindholm. He would be a big loss.
Losing Hanifin probably gets absorbed a bit by Stecher and Gilbert. Flames have a surplus on D. Especially if Kylington comes back and can still play.
Tofoli leaving opens up a spot for Coronato
Backlund leaving might open up a C spot for Dube.
The flames have a fairly old and expensive team for what the actually produce. They don’t really have any players that can dominate games. The more I think about it the less worried I am about the potential exodus. Having said that I do think Lindholm would be a loss.
Either way though. The Flames have to get younger and cheaper. I think that’s about to happen.
