Team record in the hardest part of the season is such a pleasant surprise (10-2-3). Team will be even hungrier next year if most of the vet core of 7 are back. Wolf also likely to play 60-65 games. I suspect we are right in the fight next year for playoff spot as well.
I do think the showing from Parekh tonite and also Brz will give Conny more confidence that he can move Ras in offseason at max trade value retained rather than paying him the big bucks for next 8 years. R side of D core seems well in hand.
Hats off to you Flames on an A+ effort almost every night! A season we will always remember.

Trading Rasmus before next season is a must.
If you go into the season with Rasmus, you know they won’t trade him as they will be in the hunt for the playoffs. They will be walking him to UFA.
Another reason you have to trade him is all the right side defense depth. Parekh looks like he can play next season. Brz looks like he’s no more than a year away. Plus you have Mews who could see long term deals for Weegar and Rasmus plus Parekh and Brz and opt for free agency instead as there really isn’t much opportunity.
Conny MUST trade Rasmus this offseason. DO NOT extend Rasmus, he won’t age well.
