All comes down to the Flames believing Holloway is a player and if they don’t then agreed it makes no sense.
I think if they want him before going the offer sheet route they could offer to take Ceci off the Oilers hands and give up the pick they got for Mangiapane? That would give the Oilers room to sign Broberg and the Flames get an asset they can flip at the deadline and the 22 year old local kid.
My ultimate point is if the Flames think they can add a player under 23 using their cap space and opportunity then it is not fast tracking the rebuild or anything like that since the compensation will not be a 1st and they hopefully are getting a player they think will be part of their long term core
