Usually only the oilers succumb to this level of delusion publicly.
I think the Flames just got cold feet (could see it) and the package was reasonable. But they can hold out cause I don't think any other team can offer a better young center.

NJ is going to tumble, Flames make the playoffs, Markstrom goes god mode, and NJ makes a splash at the trade trading us their now much better pick for him with retention. Profit.
