Paraphrasing some notes from this morning's 32 Thoughts:
- Believes Bruins were in on Lindholm but would have only done a deal with an extension in place.
- Flames and Lindholm were about $1 million apart in talks throughout. Conroy presented a reasonable offer from the start rather than start negotiations with a lowball.
- Suggests that privately Lindholm was ready for a change of scenery.
- Flames happy to re-sign Hanifin but requested he inform them whether he is staying long-term by the end of the All-Star break.
- Toronto remains very interested in Tanev.
- Ottawa likely circles back to Tanev in the off-season.
- Quite a few other teams calling about Tanev as well.
- Nothing to report on either Vladar or Markstrom but the Flames are listening.
