Markstrom, Andersson, Hanifin, Lindholm, Tkachuk are all cut from the same cloth.
For Tkachuk - it seems to have worked out. He has 2 cups.
Markstrom - not so much.
Hanifin - TBD - he forced his way to Vegas.
Lindholm - it failed miserably with VAN and he turned down big money and it backfired. Now with BOS.
Andersson - TBD - he forced his way to Vegas.
This isn't a Flames only thing. This is the new NHL.
Players will put themselves FIRST.
Organizations have to adapt and become cut-throat.

And they all brought the Flames more than Marner brought the Leafs. Conroy said nobody was walking to FA and has been true to his word. Tkachuck, Johnny, Marner all were gambles on the part of Treliving.
