The flames were in the market for age appropriate pieces last season/summer but either didn’t have or wouldn’t pay the assets required. They wanted Cozens and Byram out of Buffalo but wouldn’t part with the pieces for either. They were allegedly close on K’Andre Miller but the Canes put a 1st on the table and threatened an offer sheet. They were able to close the Flyers deal in season that has given them a couple of average vets.
I am happy Craig has avoided over spending to force bringing in that win now and in the future piece. I do think he is on the hunt for that type of player and will be more aggressive if not this summer than the summer before moving into the new rink.
