Retention on Hanifin and Lindholm seems like an inevitability. Conroy even addressing this (not retaining on Zadorov) seems like the Flames are wide open on that topic.

Conroy needs to drive a hard bargain if he's dealing with the Leafs considering the trade history between the organizations that is slanted in the Leafs direction. Time for the Flames to make out good on a trade with the Leafs. They need a defenseman more than the Flames need to deal with them. Tanev should fetch considerably more than Zadorov considering what he brings to the table. Personally I would ask for Knies and not back down as he's the type of player that fits into what the Flames are supposedly looking for. If the wizard isn't prepared to part with Knies, Conny should move on as there will be other teams with a lot of interest in Tanev as he's exactly the type of player you want in the playoffs.
