There's been a lot of talk that the Flames are trying to emulate the Stars. I see them more trying to emulate the Canes actually.

Yeah I see alot of what they've done recently aligning with the canes as well.
Finding value, asset management and staying young.
We'll see what they do with Rasmus though. The canes avoided re-signing Skjei and Pesce, instead going for some value contracts in Walker and Ghost. I assume this is because they got some studs like morrow and Nikishin being close.
The flames are in a somewhat similar situation. We have guys like Parehk, Bruz, Mews, Morin plus a few others that might be ready sooner then later.
They'll probably lock up Bahl. They already have Weegar. Will they lock up another spot with Rasmus longterm? Or you do recoup some assets from him and try and find a cheaper short term stop gap in FA.
