I don't know if many GMs are going to take McCann over Rakell if the cost is the same. Seems like McCann would be more of a Plan B for GMs if they are taking to Dubas about Rakell.
I don't think Calgary does that anymore but I am still on board.
The more I look at this, the more I realize there's almost no such thing as a bad contract anymore l, at least not to a guy under about 33 years old. Cap going up is going to make everyone underpaid soon. Rangers dumping Trouba with no retention was an eye opener.
Since 2022-23 only Matthew’s has scored more goals than Tage when considering nationality.
Wow thats alot of suitors for Jarry
People need to get over the idea that Huberdeau is a cap dump. Hes on pace for 35+ goals this season, his best ever. Yeah that contract doesnt look great, but its serviceable and hes a top line winger on a team fighting for a playoff spot. Flames arent trading him for crap. In a couple of years that contract will be nothing compared to the 15+ mil contracts that are going to be the norm.
The time was 1.5 seasons ago before Huska took over as coach. Huberdeau has assumed a huge leadership role on the Flames, is a key penalty killer and is now showing his offensive side again. Hes gone from a offensively only winger to someone who plays a 200ft game and relied on in all situations. At this point I dont think you could get him to waive or for the Flames to trade him without something significant coming back.
