Flames accept

not enough when Jarmo can grab players like Laine or Kotkaniemi (MTL+Jets would inquire) especially with a Finnish GM

I think he'd almost need a top six c back in any deal though, not sold Canadiens would deal kotkaniemi

Jarmo would want Tkachuk, which the Flames have no interest in doing.

Does dubois want out?

What the grapevine is saying

Aaron Portzline recently wrote an article on The Athletic outlining that there is a serious plausibility he wants out. He drew parallels to the signings of Johansen and Anderson, who ended up leaving the team not long after their extensions with Columbus.
