Yes! I like this. Can't beat them? Beat them up!

The big winner will be Nik Ehlers. With Marner off the table, someone is going to overpay that guy BIG.

Pospisil, Backlund, and Wolf can extend starting later today. These should be handled by the end of the week if this team is serious about being proactive. Don’t know why they’re faffing about with Zary and Frost.

All of this should be getting done before the market resets this summer with the new cap increases.

Wolf is far and away the priority. Pospisill is an RFA there's really no rush and Backlund you can sit and wait on. Backs is a trade deadline target if the situation dictates it, or signing for another 1-2 years depending on how he looks through the season.

Back up the truck for Wolf and sign him for eight years as soon as possible (today). No need to get cute with this thing, if you believe in a guy, pay him. Don't nickel and dime your star RFA's to save 100k only to waste it elsewhere. Spend at the top of your lineup.

Should the Flames try and get Lundell out of Florida? They are over the cap with 2 roster spots left to fill. 23 yr old centre locked up for 5 more years at 5 million

He would be one of the last guys they move. If he were available then absolutely

Should they : 100%

Can they : probably

Will they : probably not.

Florida will have to trade someone, some posters have pointed to Eetu. Florida needs cap space but will want to replace the player in sorts. I don't know if we can pull that off.

If Florida would purely accept futures, I would be in 1000%. Could be a great second line centre for this team for the next ten years.

Calgary can take a lot of cap back from Florida if needed, and retain on Andersson. No idea who they would look at as expendable but that's a consideration.


Rasmus is really the last high-valued asset left among the veterans for the rebuild. Really sucks that his value is being compromised.

There is no one reasonable to sign that can bring offense. My guess is the Flames want him as a deterrent for younger players.

Do we?

I’d argue we do not.

I believe the team will be a defense first, grind em out, bottom-10 team this year by design. Jeannot, if he comes, could help continue to establish a “hard to play against” identity.
