Can't make conditions on players re-signing.

And no thanks on the Zadorov trade.

Also, Ty doesn't play on the 2nd pairing because Graves is better than him. He plays on the 2nd line because he meshes with Sevo and to spread out the offense/defense balancing. Smith+Hamilton pairing would be all offense, very little defense.

Smith is better than Graves, I get defensive D with Offensive D but Smith is way better than graves

pretty diabolical return for the flames on gaudreau

Pretty fair considering he is a rental

Not enough and CGY will get better offers

Not for him as a rental

Wait till he's a FA. He either resigns, goes to Philly or if he likes what he sees with us can sign here. We sneak into the PO's this year best case, no real need for him. Not far fetched we'd be on a short list. He's not going to NYRs, or NYIs, so I woudl keep my assets.

Smith > Graves, but latter plays with Dougie
Severson > Subban

Tyce Thompson would need to light it up in Utica for Flames to consider this.
