Will always be one of my favorite Flames - the first jersey I ever got with a player crested on the back.

Think giving him the C is the right move too, that is the guy the locker room wants to be their captain.

I wonder how long they delay a presser out of respect to the Snows

That's a solid deal for the team and the player.

I will be happy to see him sign year by year if he remains healthy

TBH might actually be the opposite.

At this point Chris has not passed away yet and really there is probably not going to be a good time to announce things over the next week or so depending on how things go with Chris.

Pretty excellent deal for that calibre of player.

I will never doubt Rasta again! (didn't doubt them, just didn't know they had a tight source)

Anyway, this is a fantastic contract! Two years is ideal, and $4.5M is - currently, at least - a steal for him. Obviously, things can go downhill quickly for players at his age, but based on his fitness, low mileage, and cerebral play, I doubt his game deteriorates much. In fact, I'll predict right now that he signs another deal after this one.

As it stands today for 2024/2025 (went with a 5% salary cap increase):

Hm. What is most troubling with that view is actually what it means for 2026- we have to hope Sharangovich and Coronato both earn raises (coronato a big one) and yet that will leave us very little room to play with.

Lindy is gone IMO. No room.

Plenty of room. And a very strong chance that one of the goalies is gone, and replaced with (a cheaper) Wolf.

Same with defence. Our defencemen will not be as expensive as they have been recently, even if they resign Hanafin. I think two of Hanafin, Zadorov, and Tanev are gone at the end of the year and replaced with younger players.

Glad to hear that Backlund has changed his mind about leaving.

Cap space won't matter if Lindholm is gone. Flames won't go anywhere without a #1 center
