Exactly, Flames are having their cake and eating too.
They are moving UFAs and seemingly getting better.
If they can re-jig this roster on the fly while continuing to win that's great. Losing the second pairing and the starting goalie might be too much for the team to stomach though. They won't engineer a bad year just to get better picks.
There is a lot of value in Marky mentoring Wolf too. Marky's contract is perfect in terms of how it lines up with Wolf's optimistic/probable NHL development.
It would have to be a colossal over pay, right now. I don't think Mercer and a 1st gets it done, right now.
