Has to be the 1st option for the team. They are not a top destination, so they need to create long term cap space even if it costs them now.
Cap supposed to go up to $113 mil in the next few years. No guarantee that happens so the players should be reasonable when demanding too much inflation from their comparable.
Flames need to take this chance; they just can't be losing guys when it matters and right now, I don't see anyone getting more than Huberdeau until Parekh comes up (assuming he meets his potential)
Flames have 3 years before they have anyone to really be concerned about.
Over the next few years, Backlund, Coleman will be off the books and Kadri could be traded before his contract is up.
I don't see any cap issues for a long time.
