The cool thing about taking Lindholm and Hanifin to the deadline is that they help you win games besides also being the strongest market.
The flames play 59 games prior to the trade deadline. If they play at 100 point pace for those games, they only need to go at .500 or maybe 1 point above in the last 23.
So you can maximize your trade value and potentially punch your ticket. I wouldn't be accepting that cap dump lumped in with a couple mid grade prospects.
As for the rest of the ufa crop, you'll sign a couple, lose a couple... They don't appear to have much value now, so why not play the majority of the season with them and see if you're any good.
