I think you’re kidding yourself if you think they haven’t been keeping them for hopes of squeezing into playoffs. I have no doubt in my mind that if flames were in a playoff position at deadline the only player they would trade is lindholm . They would re-sign hanifin and probably keep tanev signed or unsigned.
Bo horvat was traded at this time last year. Without looking things up I believe there are always deals happening around this time with teams wanting to get a jump on things.
For me the the best potential player we can get out of this years mess is calgarys own first round pick. It’s not going to be from late firsts and b prospects they get back in trade for ufas
