what do they do next season when they will be over the cap?

Trade for nothing

No one is retaining for 3 years

Lucic contract will be gone

and raises for Huberdeau, Weegar, Vladar have extensions with higher cap hits kicking in. Flames have already committed more to next season than they have this year, and that is with just 17 players signed.

Josh Anderson would be better than Konecny, and about the same price.

Darryl Sutter would hate Konecny, but he'd love Anderson.

Konecny is a lot better than Josh Anderson

I think for that package Philly would.

Konecny is softer than my grandma.

I'd be Happy with that return. Though I hope we keep Konecny, I still think he can be a consistent 65+ Point getter for us. He's played well so far this year.

Konecny isn’t worth the equivalent of THREE 1st Round Picks

I’d prefer Conor Garland more but we’d need to move a player out in the off-season to fit his Cap Hit Next Season

Cheaper Top 9 Options if they come available are Fabian Zetterlund, Luke Kunin or Ivan Barbashev
