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.

I think it still happens, Markstrom has 2 years left and has publicly criticized the Flames for how this was handled. It's time to move on if he wants to move on. He has a NMC and could be more difficult in the summer if we continue to drag our feet on this one.
But if we move him now, we probably will need to move him for less than a young center with potential. Might have to get that later.
Sharangovich moving to center has been fine so IMO with him, Kadri and Backlund we are ok for now. Address that this summer.
