I expect tp bottom out next year. If we trade Markstrom, Tanev and Hanifin we won't be good next year even if Wolf is the real deal.
Who would sign here in the summer? Even if the Flames wanted to make the playoffs, nobody is going to want to come here next summer.
If you are current Flames and your team sells just a couple points out of the playoffs, who wants to stay? I wouldn't be surprised if guys like Weegar, Rasmus, Coleman, Mangiapane, Backlund, Kadru and Huberdeau all want to be moved after this deadline. This can't be sitting well with guys who want to make the playoffs.
We are bottoming out next year and other than maybe being stuck with Huberdeau or Kadri and Backlund potentially sticking it out next year, I wouldn't be shocked if the rest are moved in the next 12 months.
