Not very many teams in the league that can even afford his cap him

He is 10x more valuable to the Flames than he is on the market. He should be kept as a mentor for all our young wingers. He is the embodiment of how to be a strong 2-way winger. Not to mention with Lindholm and potentially Dube, Mange, and Yegor being moved in the next 2 years we will need guys that can PK besides just Backlund

With how little the salary cap has gone up in the last few years, unfortunately not much. In a year or 2 with a couple big jumps to the salary cap, I feel like he'd be worth a 1st to a contending team. But right now you'd probably just have to do a hockey trade, or give him away to one of the 5 teams that could actually afford him right now

Reilly Smith was a 3rd.

Tampa has no cap space for Coleman.

3 more years @ 4.9m and sure he would waive, but his ntc goes to a 10 team trade list. Making him a flame most likely, unless a sideways deal
