Boston is over the cap. Has no interest in Looch.

Beyond the miraculous, Milan Lucic is not going to have TDL value. The game passed him by a few years ago. That being said, I think the Flames have been remarkable in making the best of the situation.

I also think fans need to look past the anguish of free agent and RFA losses this summer. Calgary remains a good team, certainly they have an exceptional blue line and potentially outstanding goaltending. The offense will look different, and it's hard to imagine as productive as last season, but that doesn't mean they aren't a serious playoff contender.

So Trading the best pick and retaining at the TDL for a pick that's closer to a 4th round pick than it is a second and a 5th. I'm Confused
