Did the Flames overvalue Toffoli? Getting a $3M 4th liner and 3rd round pick for a guy who scored .8ppg since he left the Kings seems like the Flames took what they could get.
If the offers for Hanifin are trash then he is the one guy it really makes sense to keep. This team has a thin pipeline on the back end and only 2 guys signed beyond this year. If they get the 26 year old top pairing guy inked that is not terrible.
Considering the new coaching staff has already decided the Huberdeau-Lindholm pairing is not working after 5-6 games like the last staff I see no way they can extend Lindholm. They cannot keep these guys unless there is a clear path to being able to dump Huberdeau/Kadri.
