Unless he takes $4M AAV or less, I'll give Strome away for free haha

Well thats silly. I mean I dont want the NYR to re-sign him for any kind of term, but if they cant move him for the right return now, they sign him for 1 year at like 4.5-5m and then flip him at the TDL with 50% retained for a decent rental return.

Flames are not trading their #1 C for RFA goalies and D depth they'd have to protect in the expansion draft.

I know, I was exaggerating a bit haha. Yeah that's a good plan of action, I just don't know if he'll be willing to sign short term because he probably knows he won't be able to replicate last season. Especially if Panarin and Zibanejad play together next season (which seems likely at this point).

Rangers don’t do that Calgary trade. We don’t want a guy like Monahan. We need a 2-way center

I think I would do that deal - checks a lot of boxes for us. All of us CGY fans are obsessed with getting another high end potential C back for SM - not gonna happen. Here we get a 1B potential goalie, a top 4 RHD with PP potential and another 1st in this draft. Move Lindholm to center flip Hanifin for Domi and Bob's your uncle!
