As for the rest. What players do you think they can move that don't have NTCs.
Andersson.
And?
Your plan isn't a plan.

At what point do you think it makes sense to move on from Huberdeau altogether? Or at least admit that the contract was a mistake and retain part of it while he’s still having a decent season? What’s the alternative—holding onto the deal, using up cap space on more aging players, and hoping for another mediocre playoff push?
As for other moves, there are veterans with value who could be moved, especially if the Flames are willing to retain salary where needed. If the team is serious about resetting, they should be looking at trading any older assets that still have market value to accumulate draft picks and young talent. Otherwise, we’re stuck in the same cycle.
