If this is directed at me I never said it wasn't his fault. I said he didn't do it on purpose.

His deal is 50% retained by Nashville, so 4M cap hit
It'll be a waste of we don't weaponize our cap this upcoming season, I think it'll tell everyone who is running the ship here if that avenue isn't taken.

I was curious what you thought on that, since you've been saying Kadri wants to stay since he has settled his family here, etc.
More spinning the wheels from Francis?

I don't think Kadri is going anywhere right away, at least not this offseason for sure.

Honestly - flames should go all in for Makar then. Make him captain at that point.

I have zero faith Makar will become a Flame. It's fun to joke about but he's a franchise player and IMO he'll never reach free agency. The Avs will lock him to an 8 year extension before he even plays a game on the final year of his current deal.

He has to want to sign that contract.

Avs will go all in on Makar, and could very well make him captain.

And I don't think he will want to sign an 8 year extension there, so him being a franchise player and the Avs locking him up before his final year is moot. I didn't think I needed to add that and it was obvious what I was alluding to.

Why wouldn't Makar want to re-sign with the team where he has already won a Stanley Cup?

Because he'd be signing with his home team to win more cups.

At this point, I think the Avs are his home team. Calgary is just the place he came from.

While Makar may have reasons for wanting to play in Calgary, winning cups is likely not one of them.

It’s only a rumor, but I’ve heard Makar recently purchased high value property in Calgary, which could suggest he has his roots here. I think it’s more than just the place he came from. Could mean something, could mean nothing as far as his career goes, though. I’ve read here on this forum from several people that Koenecny lives here offseason and it sounds like the Flyers are intent on extending him.
Truthfully, it’s too far down the road to start making these predictions. A lot can and will happen between now and then. How’s the new building? Are the Flames emerging as a contender that would suit a7 year deal? Are the Av’s on the opposite trajectory looking like todays Pittsburgh Penguins? Im those things, and more, will be taken into account.

Didnt Konecny marry a Calgary girl? He'll be interesting to watch. I suspect he'll extend in Philly but if he doesn't he's only got one season left now. He'll be 28 if he makes to to UFA, is a winger and will command a hefty contract.

The Flames will have a crazy amount of cap space in 2026/2027.
Just in time for Tij to turn pro and a new arena opening up.
The stars are aligning.

Hahah if nothing else it's fun to dream on as a fan. Makar is an unbelievable player but also seems like a good dude. Would be incredible to see come home if that was (for whatever reasons) something he was interested in doing at that time.
