Goaltending is likely to be a challenge. And the D is going to be awful. That makes for a bad combo. There simply aren't enough UFAs out there to make this roster playoff-worthy

DAL, COL, WPG
VAN, EDM, LAK

are all locks, and we are aren't keeping up with

NSH, VGS, MIN, STL

and I strongly doubt we're as good as SEA or UTAH

hell, we might not be as good as CHI
As it stands right now, SJ may be the only team I would confidently say the Flames should be better than.

If Kadri starts looking for an out, the bottom could really fall out here.

I guess we will see what happens over the next few days but the Flames are teetering on full blown down to the studs rebuild from the looks of it.

I’m here for it. Tired of mediocrity. Tear it down and build a consistent playoff contender by 2026/2027 and on. Do this the right way for once

Andersson's contract is good value at full cost, even with his poor year last year.

Stamkos could get a massive contract tomorrow with weird (or rather, a lot of) bonuses, no?

Makes it interesting to watch. I could see him raking in $10M on a 1-year deal with bonuses. Guy torched last season.

...how sick would it be to see him sign a MASSIVE 1-year deal with Vegas based heavily on bonuses, just so that VGK carries a big overage into 2026...when we own their 1st.

**nope nvm, guy is still somehow only 34**

Really don’t like the idea of spending a fair chunk on Duclair. He’s one of those names the team has inexplicably in on for years now. Holy hell, he’s mediocre. Not sure why the falling over for him, especially if he’ll cost one of term or price.

Stamkos fits well into the LTIR loophole for Vegas too.
Almost like it’s meant to be.

He cannot have bonuses in his contract.

He is over 35 so he is eligible for bonuses in his contract.

I doubt he gets term or price


Seems like someone who can pad his (and Huberdeau's) stats and be flipped for an asset
