I’d love to be surprised, but I just don’t see it playing out like that. If the Flames are securely in a playoff spot, the day after the deadline they’ll hold a press conference to say they felt they owed it to the guys in the room to keep everyone together and go on a run in the playoffs, trying to build a culture, etc. etc. And when most of the UFAs walk in the offseason, fans will switch gears and say we should look at the bright side and all the flexibility that the cap space will give us.
