Is Vladar being moved simply due to cap space?

Detroit has zero interest in Daniel Vladar, We can get a better cheaper backup in free agency than paying assets for a short term backup.

No? Supposedly Dustin Wolf is ready, And they need to move him. To open up a spot for Wolf.

Florida rejects, we aren’t trading Verhaeghe.

I'm assuming the Flames will want to bring up wolf he's been the best goalie in the ahl for 2 years can't do anything else down there anymore. Vladar anywhere for anything.

Yep, the Panthers are moving a 42 goal scorer for Hanifan.

Florida has lots of offense not much on the back end. Not many good defense man for that cheap.

Prefer trading Duclair over Verhaeghe.

I'll take vladar for a 4th, he's been inconsistent but as he gets older if he straightens it out he could be valuable.

Partially. it's mostly because Wolf has been the best AHL goalie for 2 years running and has basically forced the team to play him at the NHL level. The Flames do however, have the benefit of Wolf NOT having to clear waivers to move between the AHL and NHL. Since they're both based in Calgary, they should be able to take advantage of that and get him into some m NHL games without keep him on the NHL roster full time, and still get him playing plenty of games as the Wranglers starter

No, that's why Dube was included.

Wait Backlund for literally nothing? Or is that a mistake?

The Flames can't sign any offer-sheets that requires their 1st round pick as compensation for at least 3 years. Their 2024, 2025, and 2026 1st round picks are all part of conditional deals tied to Monahan and Tkachuk. until those are resolved, no offer sheets over $4,290,126 AAV.

But Wait! ,..... There's More!!

Flames also retain $2,000,000

For no return?

Not many 42-goal scorers for that cheap.... What's your point?
