Would love for that as well. But I think it will be a tough sell to the owner. The acquiring team would have to pay a real premium for the flames to retain that much. Even if it meant the flames got another 1st round pick in the deal, that’s a tough conversation with the owner. You’re asking him to pay $10.5 million for what is likely to be a late 1st round pick. If it means they are willing to include an A-level prospect for the retention then maybe it would seem more reasonable.
