doubt he signs in Calgary. But if he wanted to, id prefer Dube + 16th overall

Ottawa can't afford him but Calgary can?

The trade itself isn't so much of an issue as the fact that Calgary was just burned by Gudreau and Tkatchuk leaving so trading for an impending RFA means they need to clear cap on the gamble he might sign a long term deal.

Highly problematic from the flame's point of view.

Need a goalie!! Sogaard is going to be good, after another year in Belleville
I think Ottawa should try the offer sheet game this offseason with Jeremy Swayman... or Gus the Bus?
Also.. CGY is already in a cap hell, I doubt they trade for the Cat, but I see a slight chance that this move could happen, but it's an interesting trade!

Aren't you also trading away 3 pending free agents?

Conroy made a point about not letting players walks for nothing. So my thought was, get rid of 3 negotiations for 1 *shrug*

His QO is 9MM, so even if we signs for 8.5MM, Calgary hasn't shed that space and now has 2 additional roster spots to fill (among the other 3 as well)
