I would rank them:
Lindholm: 99% traded - I don't like saying 100% but he is gone. My intel is unless someone really overpays him he will go UFA. He wants his payday. I don't think a sign and trade will happen here.
Hanifin: 75% traded - If the Flames go on a serious run there is a chance they put that contract back on the table but the feeling is he will move, probably as close to the deadline as possible for max return. Unlike Lindholm Hanifin is open to sign and trade.
Tanev: 50% - he is happy to extend here but is also open to trade. I think it will depend on the offers, if Conroy can't get what he feels is fair value he will extend him to mentor the young guys.
Dube: ? - The problem with Dube is his value has tanked. He could be included in a bigger deal but on his own I don't see him bringing back much.
Mangiapane: Can't see anyone touching that contract.
Markstrom: 25% - I do think there is a market for Markstrom actually, not sure if he wants to move or not though.
Vladar: - 75% - Only reason this is not 100% is the 25% it is Marky moving instead. Flames need to make room for Wolf regardless.
Coleman: 25% - I think there would be serious interest if the Flames retain, not sure his appetite to move.
Kadri: 1% - I don't see him going anywhere.
Huberdeau: You have a better chance of winning the lottery 7 times in a row.
