<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MTLaveragefan</b></div><div>You were pressed by the cap and in a dire situation cap-wise. We helped out and you paid market value for that cap hit.

Now, (see the updated offer in the comments) you get a first for a rental, a second round pick and a couple great prospect to eat a contract that won't matter much while rebuilding and with the cap increasing from 83M$ to 92M$ in the next two years.

Also, habs are still eating Campbell's cap... you can have him instead of Anderson if you prefer... but I figured that with Markstrom, Wolf and Vladar, you don't need another G.</div></div>

The Flames weren't pressed by the cap. They had the cap space, they just wanted to add Kadri.

Also, I don't see why would the Flames help MTL for a 2nd and a couple of meh prospects only because they have the cap space. If you want to move Anderson be prepared to overpay, because he's a replacement level player getting paid $5.5M.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GMBL</b></div><div>There's no reason why he shouldn't make it as the 7th D at the least but more than likely he's on the 2nd or 3rd pairing if they trade Tanev as well. Even if Kylington returns and Hanifin is signed, he's probably on the 3rd pair. If he does end up getting waived and claimed, you still got the 2nd or whatever it is that they wanted as the main piece.

Competing might be too strong of a word, but I think they would want to be playoff hopefuls at the least (assuming Lindholm is gone) based on the reports that CGY is looking for guys that they can play (probably AHLers trying to make the jump/young players that need a change of scenery types) as part of the returns, and also the fact that Kadri and others aren't interested in a rebuild.</div></div>

Kylington is an UFA, and he is unlikely to return. I doubt the Flames are going to re-sign Hanifin, as the rumors are that he turned down $7.5M x 8yr. Which is an overpay IMO. That said, there will be other free agents the Flames will get in the off-season to play in the top 4. The Flames might also get players in the 20-22 range that can step in and play in the NHL in exchange for their UFAs. Again that's my opinion but I don't think that Timmins would be an upgrade over the likes of DeSimone, Gilbert, and Solovyov at the NHL level.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GMBL</b></div><div>Domi has been better at C than he has on the wing, not sure why you're making a trade to change that.



Timmins struggles with injuries, if he can stay healthy, he could possibly start to live up to his potential. When you see him play in the NHL, he definitely doesn't look like an AHLer trying to find his way. So, if he was available along with whatever futures return they want/can get that would be good. CGY is going to want to compete next year anyways so that additional year and his RFA status could come in very handy.</div></div>

I'm not as certain as you are regarding competing next year. Also Timmins is/becomes waiver eligible, so if he doesn't make the roster out of camp then he would have to pass through waivers.
