The Flames might trade Tkachuk. I don’t think they will, but they might.

If they do, it’s not going to be for futures. They brought a coach out of retirement, he didn’t do that to win 31 games next year. The GM needs to make the playoffs in 21/22 if he wants to stick around.

Rightly or wrongly, this is an ownership group in Calgary that is trying to win and if they allow their highest paid player to be moved, it’s for immediate help.

A 1 for 1 hockey deal is more likely than loads of futures. Even something like Hamilton for Lindholm/Hanifin could happen here

Yeah I guess you could say that lol.

So from your perspective, Would you prefer CGY extend Huberdeau and Weegar and try to add someone like Kadri to bolster the top 6 OR

Run them till the deadline then flip them to the highest bidder starting a sell off?

They've got options.

I think they're gonna extend Weegar. It just makes too much sense. The Flames RHD depth is very thin
Obviously, everyone thinks Huberdeau is unlikely to be extended, but we'll see. The Flames are going to throw 80-88 mill at him, that might be tough to turn down.

The thought of flipping them at the deadline is great. I just don't see it being realistic. The Flames are going to continue to add this offseason. The Pacific is the weakest division in the league. The Flames should be a playoff team, which makes trading them really tough to do. But of course if things aren't going well then you do it without hesitation.
