I have no sources.
What I think will happen:
1. Flames will weaponize cap space to help cap constrained teams chase the big free agents in the form of taking on 1-3 year duration contracts for good players accompanied with appropriate picks/prospects. We’ll use some of the low priced tweeners recently acquired, to make the deals work (have to send a player back).
2. Markstrom will be traded.
3. Decisions on our wingers will come closer to the deadline unless somoene has an exceptional camp and pre-season and forces their way into the roster.
Flames will be fun to watch, but will finish next season inside the bottom ten.
