I've been told the Flames have zero appetite to wait until the trade deadline to trade Hanifin, as well as Lindholm if he doesn't sign. There is an internal deadline to take the best deal available before the quarter season mark on those two players. The others will likely be deadline deals if it comes to that. Seems like outside of the question mark around Lindholm, and Hanifin's decision, there is confidence in ability to re-sign other UFAs pending season progression.
