To change the discussion away from how Gaudreau left again...what Flames veterans could be moved this offseason:
Yes:
Markstrom: I've heard this is all but a certainty, think he's done.
Mangiapane: Think they'd like to move him and he wants a change but think the market is going to be really soft for him, as it has been for wingers each of the past 3-4 offseasons.
Maybe
Kadri: He's the biggest question mark to me...rumours are he's happy here...but to me he's played the second half of this season like a guy trying to prove to contenders he's still got it.
Coleman: A guy you'd think playoff teams would be clamoring to get...but think the Flames want to keep him.
Andersson: Likely comes down to indications of if he's going to be willing to re-sign in a year. Personally I think they should be shopping him at maximum value.
No
Huberdeau: Seems unlikely anybody takes his contract
Backlund: Next offseason or trade deadline is the earliest I could see him moving if at all
Weegar: He's here long term as the bridge through the rebuild.
Sharangovich: Another guy I think they try to re-sign and keep long term
Kuzmenko: Feels like a guy they wait until next deadline to shop.
