You would love FOR it to happen. But until it happens, it is a pipe dream. I will believe the Flames will retain on a contract when it happens more than once in team history. The potential should be there, but until Conroy gets permission to do so and it happens, its all speculative bull####.

Stienberg and others who are close to the team have said they will. Burke/Feaster also said they would in 2013 but the cap constraints weren’t as tight as they are today.
Also, how do you reconcile your view while also taking the fact the Flames are paying Sutter ~$4M for this year and next to not coach? A lot of people here, yourself included I believe, think Edwards hired Sutter and not Treliving. Why wouldn’t the Flames retain on their UFA’s and/or potentially a player with term (Markstrom)?
