In recent years, most significant deals get done weeks before deadline day. And if the Flames are in a playoff spot in mid-February, I just have a real tough time imagining them moving even 2 of the 3 UFA d-men. There will be talk of rewarding the players’ hard work, building a winning culture, etc. No way they go into the playoffs with a D-corps of:
Weegar-Andersson
Gilbert-DeSimone
Solovyov-Oesterle
