If Flower does get moved, it will be to a contender, more than likely at half retention, for one last run at the cup. There are a couple of “contenders” that Flower would block a move to just because he feels that they don’t have a chance at the cup. I would assume that those teams would include Edmonton, Toronto, Boston, and possibly Washington. Washington might just be because of his time in Pittsburgh and Vegas, but Washington is also past its prime, so that could also factor in. But for the other 3 teams I mentioned, as they stand right now, can we seriously call them contenders? Personally, I would be more inclined to call them pretenders, but that’s an argument for another day. I think the most likely destinations for Flower, in my opinion, would be Carolina (if they want an upgrade over Raanta), Florida (if they want someone more proven than Knight and possibly more reliable than Bob), Colorado (goaltending might be the only weakness there due to injury likelihood), NY Rangers (if they want an upgrade over Georgiev), Vegas (although I don’t think that Chicago would be able to retain on Flower then), and Pittsburgh (if they want to upgrade DeSmith, and have a homecoming for Flower). My guess for a Flower trade is that he ends up in Colorado to solidify the goaltending there.
