My god that defense is disgustingly good

That Kane package would be trumped and the lack of a 23' 1st would be a key component why. Hawks are seemingly targeting this draft as a big one.

Markstrom would be smiling behind them that’s for sure

Yeah that makes sense, I would do a 2023 pick if it were protected. Monahan gives them someone to flip at the deadline. But saying that they can probably do the same with Kane at the deadline.

I think you can probably get Rodrigues for less and on a 1, or 2yr deal. I think it's clear the league wants to see him on a prove-it deal.

Chychrun is a luxury the Flames don't really need. As it stands, they've got one of the best top 4's in the league.

Still think the Flames will need to add one more significant forward this summer though. Been kinda thinking of Beauvillier from NYI, if he may be available. The Flames have an excess of defencemen now.n

Kane will stay until TDL to see who has the best shot at a cup if he indeed departs. Both him and Toews have full control of their situations with full NMC.
