Yea still about $350k they need to move to get under then still need to add a roster player. A 2 for 1 deal probably makes sense for them

No that’s not correct. 21 roster plays as per capfriendly does not include players on IR. So cirelli and and Bogosian aren’t included in that 21 count. So they are at 23 and could choose to go with 22 to start the season. Probably could just send Barre-Boulet.

Sorry I meant if they only moved 1 person out to clear space they would need to fill that roster spot. You are right they could choose to go with 22 to start.

Tampa, Vegas and Washington all have big LTIR players that once they put those players on they are under the cap or close to. Washington should actually have room to add still

Teams that aren’t in a good spot

Toronto and Florida. Florida needs to dump Hornqvist

Toronto really doesn’t have an easy option. Kerfoot I guess but he had 51 points. Holl could go but sandin is an RFA so not sure if that gets them under without someone going on LTIR

That Murray trade just doesn’t make sense

Perhaps they could trade their first round pick starting in 2026 in perpetuity?

Cirellii and Bogosain are LTIR bound for the start of the season (joining Seabrook).

So they won't have to worry until Cirelli is back but the likely and most obvious solution is sending Myers down. They receive a $1,075,000 relief, are only $325,000 above the cap with the relatively mock roster on Capfriendly, so even sticking with that roster they can call up someone making $750,000 (which just so happens to be league minimum) to replace Myers and be under the Cap if they are able to utilize all of Seabrooks cap relief.

They just happened to sign Carrick to a $750,000 contract a couple hours ago.

So replace Myers with Carrick (once Bogosian and Cirelli are off LTIR) and the team is left with $54,167 in cap space.

I am kinda surprised that nobody is sniffing around Sandin as an offer sheet candidate. If you think he has any sort of ability, one year at 3.1 million would cost you a 2nd round pick and would definitely squeeze the Leafs. You would basically have him at that contract via qualifying offers until he either is good enough to get more or you cut him loose. Seems like a gamble some team might take in a free market.

I think Tre should find a way to get rid of Monahan's contract and sign Stastny if the deal made sense. We could then roll with one #1 line and two #2B lines. I think with the departures of Gudbranson, Ritchie and Tkachuk that we still need Lucic's presence.

Huberdeau - Lindholm - Toffoli
Coleman - Backlund - Mangiapane
Pelletier - Stastny - Dube
Lucic - Rooney - Lewis

Tanev - Weegar
Hanifin - Andersson
Mackey - Zadorov

No Kylington?

I still wonder if Kadri is a possibility? Considering the Flames have solidified their roster for next year in terms of landing Huberdeau snagging Kadri would make this team strong down the middle and for next year likely as good or better than the previous team. Weeger in/Gudbransen out is a huge upgrade on the blueline. Huberdeau for Gaudreau is at worst a wash. Kadri in for Tkachuk is a downgrade but the other moves would lead me to believe the Flames would have a better team overall

Didn’t kadri already tell flames he wasn’t interested? I highly doubt an un-signed huberdeau will make him change his mind

If they did sign Kadri, this team would be deeper at C and D than last year. I think Sutter would actually prefer that version of the team despite losing Gaudreau and Tkachuk, he likes his teams built down the middle. I don’t think Kadri is going to get the big deal he’s looking for.

I know it’s unlikely he signs here but I hope they add a legit top two line C somehow. Stastny is a decent backup option but I worry about his speed.

No teams willing to pay him what he wants might make him change his mind.

Not at the term and dollar amount the Flames we’re offering, but they could circle back again. It was widely speculated that Kadri may have a have a handshake deal in place with another team already and they are just waiting to clear space for him. Both the Islanders and Avs were mentioned.

But who knows. If it doesn’t happen soon, Kadri might get anxious about waiting around.

TSN Overdrive was certainly talking today like Calgary is still involved in the Kadri talks.

From looking at the salary situation as well, simply moving Looch to Anaheim should make things work (at least for 22/23). I saw hell yeah - get it done. Go for it.

Did he say that or is this from the 2019 trade?

Seeing the Flames making this move tells players around the league the Flames are serious about winning. I don’t think the Flames are the first choice but they could be the best fit. Moving Lucic out makes it affordable to get him and Mangiapane signed.

Flames need to replace a top 6 forward and Kadri wants to play for a competitive team. I could see a fit there

[Vinny01]

Quite a few random Twitter handles are claiming Kadri is in fact coming to Calgary. Highly questionable and very strange

There was an earlier report that Kadri wasn't interested in signing with Calgary.

That was also before we added Huberdeau and Weegar. I can easily see a move like that changing his stance on the team.

The word is that he recently mentioned (since becoming a UFA) he is not interested in playing in Calgary.
