Despite Burke in Pittsburgh I don’t think they’re going for a player of Gaudreau’s ilk. No doubt he’d help them but they have a similar stature player in Kapanen already. Not nearly as good but in size you can probably have so many of the small guys on a team. I have my doubts.

If Gaudreau's camp put an $11 MM demand in front of the flames, then it's not about going closer to home IMO.

I empathize with those sentiments. I've mostly lost interest in the NHL game the last few years and Johnny's play has been the main source of excitement in watching the Flames. If he's gone, I don't have much interest to watch next season either.

Last time I was excited about the Flames best player playing with Crosby, Sid took a slap shot off the face and was out for a long time. That was disappointing

Lindblom buyout gives Philly ~$3M in space. Teams can go over the cap by 10% right now. Philly can spend up to ~$11M tomorrow.

Yes. Can't remember if it was a CPer, Lebrun or both.

Pittsburgh would’ve had a better shot at Gaudreau if they hadn’t re-signed Rackell.
I would think they’d love to replace Malkin with a guy who actually plays 82 games a year.

My 2FA sends me a notification with a number I need to use to authenticate. It sent me the number 19. Read into that as you wish!!

The third pairing is irrelevant. They are clear of those contracts.

Or the main goal is to return home, but throwing out a too good to turn down figure just to see what happens.

Why? You are reading way too much into that. They still have their own free agents to sign, they were always going to do this buyout.
