If you sign Nuge for that much you would be dooming the franchise

Flames decline

That is an oddly specific number
But we don't need Nuge at all with our center depth already being good

Pretty sure that’s just the number for a 7yr 50mil deal (like Kevin Hayes). Btw what’s up with Vatrano? Has he fallen out of favour or something? I thought he’d have more value than this but I haven’t actually heard anything about him for a couple years.

He is a fine player and a good goal scorer
Worth his contract and probably more
Not sure why the Calgary fan wouldn't accept that trade

Over 17M for Bob / RNH going forward as they age starts to become a fair bit like 15M for Jeff Sknner / Okposo ... a key reason Buffalo sucked this year

RNH mostly just an empty calories 50 point scorer

Bob seems to be a .905 true talent goalie right now

While they're 28 and 33 so when they're 31 and 36

Things could get really ugly and tough for FLA 😬

I'll put it another way: if FLA want to stay in contention while the Bob $ is on their books they especially need to avoid big $ deals to non elite players

I think Nuge is going to chase that $50M contract and get it this offseason.
