Craig essentially made the team worse this offseason by replacing Markstrom, Mangiapane, and Kylington for Cooley, Martha, and Bean. Next year’s 1st rounder goes to the Habs if it is not in the top 10. If Florida completely falls off a cliff then the Flames are in trouble but I can’t see them being a bottom 10 team.
Coleman is in the tough spot of wanting to win and knowing what it feels like vs loving the city and the organization he has called home the last 3 years. I would need a team to overpay because he brings everything you want in a veteran leader.
Andersson makes sense to leave. All his buddies are gone and the 2 of the tes top prospects are RHD. He wants to win as he has only ever been in the second round once. I could also see Weegar wanting to leave after catching up with some of his buddies that just won the cup and while hopefully the flames have a near contending team by the time his contract expires I can see why he would want to win now. The rumored Blues wouldn’t make any sense however
