You can debate the merits of these kinds of numbers but for a supposed offensive defenceman he doesn't generate much offense on his own. And when he wasn't with Dahlin this past year it was just a total trainwreck.

I don't know if this is true, but it could be true. And I think that's enough to be a pass from me. You have to give up assets for this guy and then sign him to a long term and expensive cap hit.
The flames aren't in a rush to source a long-term top-4 defense option. The team can and should wait for a better top 4 defenseman to come along. What happens if the flames suck in 2025-26 and come the draft the BPA is a franchise, left shot defenseman? What if a left shot top-4 defenseman wants to come to Calgary as a discount in UFA?
