You’re going to have to give Kuz more term than 3 years

Glad the Flames don't have the same cap as every other team... Weager, Huberneau and Vladar have over ready signed for about 10m in raises

Serious question, do you think he’s looking for long term at this next deal?

Yes, 3 is terrible for him. He either goes back to Russia or looks to cash $ and term. It’s about age

His production will not be nearly as high on the Flames so he's not worth 6M. Calgary can't afford that anyways

Can we afford anyone next year?

He's only 26. There's 0% chance he goes back to Russia. IMO it's two years or 5-7 years. Burakovsky's deal sticks out as a long term comp but probably slightly higher $

Canucks have to do this deal or one like it if the money is beyond that and they don't expect to get good offers for Boeser or Garland in the offseason.

The years is exactly what I was saying, but you’re probably right

We have just under 1.8M to sign 3-5 players
