Weegar-Andersson
Gilbert-DeSimone
Solovyov-Oesterle

If I had to guess what the flames would do if in playoff spot near deadline I would think it would look like this:
Full court press to persuade hanifin to sign that $7.5 per contract
Trade lindholm
Keep tanev and zadorov as their own rentals
Not saying this is what I would do , it’s what I think flames would do. Yes conroy said in a presser that they wouldn’t let valuable players go to ufa but I’ll believe it when I see it. Also does zadorov and maybe tanev even qualify as “ most valuable players”?
