Let’s set somethings straight.
Markstrom is willing to move if the team doesn’t want him or is planning to lean closer to a rebuild than a retool (The line is very similar for the flames). However Marky is an asset you move because the offer is to good not to and not because you have too. Vladar is the latter.
Noah is shaping up to be a sign and trade. There is multiple teams interested, the proposed contract offer was a leak of his agent team so other teams know where his camp would like to be on his next contract.
Flames do not want to move Tanev and this is the message other teams are getting to drive up the price. This could be a very classic go chase a cup and resign back in Calgary. He loves Calgary, his family loves it here. Toronto makes the most sense here but flames aren’t going to be giving tre any edge.
Blake Coleman could be the surprise move for the flames however unlikely without retention.
Lindholm is going to be traded as a rental, I would be shocked if there was a sign and trade here. Multiple teams are interested.
I’ll try and provide more detailed information in the early new year.
Please have fun if you’re celebrating the new year, don’t drink and drive.
