Sujet: Bright Future for Calgary
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CJets</b></div><div>Disagree, the Flames will not rebuild under Sutter. Tkachuk is here to stay, he is our next captain and our next face of the franchise. Gaudreau wants to stay in Calgary, so I can see him accepting a smaller contract. Plus, the Flames can make the playoffs, and with all their good prospects in the system and young rising stars like Tkachuk and Mangiapane, it’s a matter of time before Calgary becomes legitimate cup contenders once again.</div></div>

I know Gaudreau "wants" to stay, and I hope he does. But I also wouldn't be surprised if he looks at two players who entered the league at the same time as him, Stone and Kucherov and wants the same deal as them. 9.5x8. I doubt he gets it on the open market, but he may ask for that from the Flames

Tkachuk's next contract will be a contentious negotiation, much like the last one. An extension would need to be more than the 9 he could take on his QO and walk to UFA. I'm not sure he's worth north of 9.

Sure, Sutter didn't sign up for a rebuild. I'm a fan of Treliving, but if the Flames fail to meet expectations in 21/22, there will be significant changes in hockey ops. If a new GM was brought in, it wouldn't be crazy to see Sutter "promoted" to a front office role for the final year of his deal. And again, the Flames could be forced into a rebuild because why would Tkachuk and Gaudreau want to sign long term if the team face-plants again.


Look, I hope the Flames do well, but I have no idea what to expect this season. I'm just saying there's a chance the team looks very different by 22/23 if the team doesn't do any damage in 21/22.

Sujet: Is there a play for Eichel
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>WhoCares_ItsAFantasyGame</b></div><div>True. Now we just wait to see if any team would offer enough. What keeps me wondering is that both KK and Lehk have yet to sign new deals at this time. Something's up. Maybe not for Eichel, but something seems to be off. These files should've been closed before UFA season... If they aren't, then it may may mean they are trying to work something out to move them.</div></div>

RFA negotiations tend to take some time. GM's are typically preoccupied with the draft and UFA as soon as the league calendar flips to a new year.

I believe Lehkonen has arb rights, so that deal should be settled sometime in mid August. The Kotkaniemi deal will be interesting, likely depends on what the term ends up being. Habs probably want to get him on a long term deal, the player likely wants short term

Sujet: Is there a play for Eichel
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>WhoCares_ItsAFantasyGame</b></div><div>What we don't know is how bad is the relationship between the team and Eichel. If he's going to start the year with a chip on his shoulder, you're going to pay a guy 10M$ to play at a lower capacity.. Not by choice, just by being pissed. They may want to start fresh with new players and if teams aren't responding to their demands.. Demands will shrink hence no Suzuki, Caufield or Romanov, but 2X 1st round picks.

We all know he could be worth more than that, but if Buffalo are stuck and see teams signing new players right and left, they may take what's on the table.</div></div>


Sure, but I just think MTL needs to blow BUF away. For example, if ANA and MTL have similar offers on the table, the Sabres are sending him to SoCal where he won't be lighting them up 5x a season.
