Flames in my view are looking at asset management, Tanev trade interest is rumored to be very high. It makes sense to move him (quickly if they can), once the price is met
I doubt they pull him 3 to 4 weeks early if the trade was going to wait right till to the deadline. Could create issues with the roster.
However if it were close, my guess he would be removed from the lineup
Guessing there is a reason they are carrying 8 dman.
