It would be a win for the Sens, but a loss for the Flames in my opinion. Flames need cap space to resign Huberdeau (assuming he isn’t dealt at the deadline), and I’m pretty sure Pinto and JBD are going to be getting raises as well. I don’t think the Flames really want to go through another offseason where another star leaves for nothing. Lucic coming off the books will help the Flames, but taking on Zaitsev’s contract should probably be a no go for the Flames. Zaitsev to a different team to make the cap work would probably get this done though, with minor adjustments that is.
