Not saying it's something I'd outright want, but with how the Flames aren't going to just lay down and rebuild...it makes a good deal of sense.

No thanks if it's $7m for Stephenson, at best he's a softer Kadri but reality says he's a 40 point player plus he's older than Lindholm. Again, this team needs high end skill not free agents to play on the 2nd-3rd line. would rather target Reinhart.
Stephenson will probably sign where golf is a thing all year anyway, the guy flat out could be a pro, he shoots in the 60's with little playing time.
