Strome and Georgiev for Lindholm. Strome actually had better stats than Lindholm did this year, but Lindholm is younger and is locked up for the next few years.
Flames would hang up the phone and block Gortons number
 
Have to think Washington cans Reirden. Never liked him. Dude looks like the klutzy boyfriend from Kindergarten Cop. Arnold’s partner’s boyfriend:lol:

The great news for the Flames is that they have so many holes to fill to be a true contender that they'll have options.
 
So, before the playoffs began, I posted Gaudreau’s underwhelming playoff numbers and was told it was too small a sample and that points didn’t tell the whole story. Gaudreau has 1 even strength playoff point in his last 18 playoff games. Let that sink in. Stars step up in the postseason and elevate. He hasn’t been that guy. In fact, he’s a big part of the reason the wheels constantly fall off that team.

Yikes.

Might be one of those great regular season players, but one that can't step up in the playoffs.

Definitely not in the tier of the big boys like MacKinnon, Panarin, Kucherov, etc. Solid player on a team with a face of the franchise or two stars. Can’t burden it himself. He’d fit on a Boston, Philly, NYR, etc, but the Flames are his team, and it just hasn’t worked out. He’s too easy to shut down come postseason. Ice is earned, and he doesn’t seem to do enough to earn his points. Is he willing to?
 
Playoffs is where the big boys shine. Why do you think guys like Brian Boyle who would do nothing all season then would become "Playoff Boyle". Thats why I want to add size and toughness to our team. Your small skilled guys might win you your fantasy pool in the regular season but the playoffs are different.
