what the flames offseason should look like imo

this team is nice. Gudas and Gustafsson will want more money probably. But Lucic at centre? Really?

The fancy blonde hairdoo will help him become a top 15 3rd line center...

yah, i was worried someone would say that(about gus & gudas) but check this out http://www.nhl.com/stats/skaters?report=faceoffwins&reportType=season&seasonFrom=20192020&seasonTo=20192020&gameType=3&position=F&playerPlayedFor=franchise.21&filter=gamesPlayed,gte,1&sort=faceoffWinPct&page=0&pageSize=50 , bennet & dube can play any position basically

lucic is winning shorthanded draws, anything can happen

I think Gudas on the open market will demand more but he’s a solid pickup, physical guy and I’ve heard he has surprisingly good underlying numbers (though I haven’t confirmed that myself yet). Gus has played well in Calgary but was bad in Chicago, so a short bridge like this makes sense imo. I’d rather use the cap space in the off-season to try and go after someone like Toffoli in free agency honestly (though that might not be quite enough cap room to do that). I don’t think Kylington is gonna be too expensive so I’d probably prefer to keep him around as the 7th dman rather than just deal him for a pick, make Valimaki work for his spot on the team over Kylington and Mackey.
