This is a clear-cut pump-and-dump situation. The Flames aren't a full Kuzmenko season away from the Cup, or even making the playoffs. They need to be bottoming out.

The Flames are most likely not winning the cup in any of our lifetimes. But if they trade Markstrom in the offseason they have $20 million in cap space and a number of decent young prospects and future draft choices. If they use it wisely and can improve the powerplay they could make the playoffs rather easily I think. If their powerplay was any good I think they would have made it this year.
So two paths. It’ll be interesting to see where it goes. I think Kuzmenko is our most skilled forward at this point. You probably should try and keep players like that at some point.
