Flames decline. That Chiarot contract is brutal

Why Ben Chiarot to CGY?
It seems odd when I see this hypothetical trade.

Chiarot included in this deal kills it.

Besides Detroit will want to keep Mazur.

I put Chiarot in it as Detroit has to move some money. If not they wouldn't be under the CAP. Calgary takes on no money with the other 3 compared to the 8 or 9 mil a year Lindholm will get. As an UFA Calgary is not going to get full value. To get that they should have traded him a year ago.Also, .He could still be moved by Calgary for someone or a pick before the deadline. Also, have you seen the Calgary defense
They have 5 UFA's. Only 2 vets under contract after this season. They need somebody.

Both Detroit and Calgary decline, If Yzerman would make a move for Elias Lindholm with a long term extension. I would have to believe that Marco Kasper would be included as adding Lindholm would make him redundant. We'd have Larkin, Lindholm and Danielson down the middle.
