Assuming the flames are going for the 1st, prospect, depth roster player model - Their 1st is going to be real late/not much different from a high end 2nd so makes sense they'd move it this year. The younger roster forward, a depth forward with some tread left on his tires like Aman would be a good fit.
The prospect piece is the key return if you're getting a bad 1st and a low end roster player.... they only have two and it's tough to see them moving Lekkerimaki or Willander.
Raty doesn't look like a very good prospect as time goes on and the dman they drafted from the O in the 3rd round this past year looks great offensively but not the level of prospect you bank on as your main return in a deal like this, someone else will surely offer something better.
I initially thought the money would be a big deal, but they have 332k in cap space, so if they were to send one 850k contract back and the flames ate half the Lindholm deal maybe it could work at the deadline? Checked and Lindholm's remaining cap hit is 2.2 so 1.1 with retention, and ticking down every day. Might still be tight unless Soucy hits LTIR
