I just don't see the downside to keeping a good player in his prime years. Caveat of course being what the cap hit is.

If the Flames are working towards an extension, you can pretty much guarantee it’s for term with some form of NTC or NMC.
Also the way it’s being reported leads me to believe it’s not a sign and trade, so he’s not going anywhere.
I think it’s a mistake to invest anymore in this core until we see where we are in 2-3 months. If we’re outside looking in then moving these UFAs makes far more sense, guys like Hanifin and Lindholm are looking for big money and long term, both of which we’re handcuffed in 30+ year olds already.
This core hasn’t shown being worth the investment, but alas this would be the most flames thing to do, refuse to see the hand that’s dealt and instead try to chase a dream with a roster that lacks high end skill.
