"The floor is cheap and the new building isn’t a concern for ownership, Market is Canadian, they’ll show up to watch the youth finish bottom 10 for a year or two”

Music to ears. Or eyes?

Anyways, it's really what we need for the next couple of seasons. Really high draft picks, and maybe even a McKenna and/or a Dupont.

Turn the page, start over.
I’d also really like to see all 3 of those players (plus Ras) on strong playoff teams.

Is it just there are no sellers so Craig is getting offers for his vets he didn’t think he was going to get.

Seems like a forgone conclusion but will Craig get extended this summer?

Who knows what will actually transpire but Conroy hasn’t really been doing much to make the team competitive so maybe vets are more willing to move

If everyone outside of Pittsburgh is trying to push…that makes it a good time to sell.

It’s not like there’s a lot left to trade, but it would be impactful.

Kadri, Coleman, Backlund…

If they were ever going to be okay with finishing low, the 2026 and 2027 drafts look like the time to take that swing.

I say this as a huge Weegar fan.... but what could the Flames fetch for him? He would be the biggest asset.

If you sell Kadri, Backlund, Coleman (miss you already), and Andersson, you keep Weegar as your captain. That’s your guy.

When it comes to fans in the building and rebuild...being the cap floor team makes up for that anyways.

19,000 is max capacity
16,000 is probably about the low end historically and what you'd likely see if they are really bad.

3000 x 41 x $150 = $18.5M

Right now the difference between the ceiling where the Flames usually were spending is $95.5M and the floor is $71M.

Edwards and the owners spent about $20M under the floor last season, and likely will again this season.
