However, I like our odds of finding a difference maker picking 8-12th rather than 12-16th.
Flames spend to the cap, I don't place that much value on it unless they switch modes and take cap dumps etc. I am worried that if Lindholm wants out then they go offer Schiefele the same contract. Season will ride on goaltending more than anything.
