For the record I am a huge Lindholm fan and yes we will be searching for a top line center if he is traded but we have to do what is best for the franchise and adding another 8 year contract would not be ideal.

Look at some of the shorter term deals and the value we are getting out of them. Tanev and Toffoli come to mind 4 year deals expiring at the right and and we got great value out of them.

That's why I am a big advocate of short term deals especially for 28-30 year old players in the 4 year range. I think it should be a big topic of discussion in the next CBA.

We can! I wanted smaller but I also didn't want to waste time looking so I just decided that one was good enough. I did see much larger eye emojis though.

Are you implying this is improper?

This seems very anti-Tampa Bay.

Edmundson is not good, and Tampa generally only acquires...ya know, good players.

You're right, you don't want to get stuck with too many long term contracts of players playing into their mid/late 30s. I think he is the guy you keep in spite of that. If he is willing to stick with the team through a rebuild or retool then you try to keep him. He would be a valuable teammate for the young players breaking into the NHL just as much as he would be for a team trying to take the next step.

I feel Huberdeau can easily be moved if he has a bounce back season, same with Kadri. Yes, they have NMC in their contracts but that doesn't mean they can't be moved, they just have control as to where they go.

I think so few legit rumors come from the Flames camp that the media just sticks with the more recent viable news. I'm sure Anderson is a player Tre would love to have on the team but I'm also sure Tre wouldn't do it unless there was some serious compensation and/or retention on that contract on top of dealing away one of the current higher cap hits. So, in a perfect storm, yes Tre will still go for Anderson but it really isn't likely. It's just retread news.
