If we could get a young top 6 forward for 5 or 6 years at 5 million dollars its an amazing bargain for the life of the contract and for the next few years Calgary could have the most money bargain top 6 in the league and no players with a scary 8 million or more contract.

Also a 5 million dollar deal would put the Flames at about 72 million with Hathaway, Janks, Hanifin and Kulak left to sign

So Hathaway $1 million
Kulak $1 million
Janks 2 million
Hanifin $4.75

8.75 to the roughly 72, so we'd be at about 80, which means a Stone has to go or a TB buyout.

Also if we signed everyone we'd be at 15 forwards, 7 defensemen, 1 goalie so we'd certainly have to dump a couple of forwards.
