Flames next 1st rounder, the 2023 1st round pick, is owned by the Flames.
it's the 2024 Flames pick that has so many conditions that I'm not gonna even try to understand.
Speculation: Flames complete fire sale coming?

Maybe. I just replied what you wrote, and it was about the next Flames 1st rounder.
The Flames are locked into trying to contend. That’s always been their MO. It’s faulty in my opinion, but it’s how their ownership operates. They will not go into rebuild mode.
They’re not making the playoffs this year, but I suspect they mostly just roll it back next year and hope for better goaltending.
They don’t have any significant FAs this year so I don’t see them making many, if any, moves.

We need new coach and GM, and we need to fire Markstrom into the sun, and bring up Dustin Wolf.

Hopefully our GM (not sure if it will be Tre or someone else) doesn't go out and sign a bunch of 13th forward vets though. We have some NHL ready prospects that really should be getting full time jobs next year. Pelletier has looked good so far an will only keep improving, Coronato is probably signing after the Frozen Four tournament, Zary has looked great in the AHL, Wolf should probably be called up next year, Ruzicka should get a full time position, Deuhr has looked solid in his recent call up.
They are very talented. I was trying to figure out who the only first line player is lol

Can't expect a goalie to play better than he did last night. That was a great save on Nylander breakaway.

I definitely expect Pelletier and Duehr are full time NHLers next season. I believe Coronato will be as well. Honestly it's probably a quiet summer.

As a Canes fan, I'd love to get Lindholm. However, I'm not expecting it. After our previous deadline moves (both players combined taking up 7 million), we don't have much cap space left, and Lindholm wasn't gonna be cheap even without retention.

It was very typical of our year for our goalie to finally show up when we were going to lose anyway

You can only get that pick if it's between 20 and 32, then the 2025 picks are partially top 10 protected
Markstrom's GAA is 2.94 and SV% .889. Last night has been an aberration this year.

We will have to move cap out though. Honestly I think Vladar gets moved. Teams are always looking for young goalies and he's on a pretty nice contract

They cannot give up on this yet, would be ludicrous after money and term given out last summer.

Not giving up on mediocre rosters when it is clear it is not working out is the Flames blueprint lol
They got lucky with a generational player, whereas this team has not.
Katz is willing to spend every dollar of his money. He just doesn't always trust the right people.
I mean Katz isn't exactly the best owner but he was able to get an arena built, hasn't pinched pennies or put any financial limitations on the team and allowed the GMs to do their job and even rebuild when it made sense. Wouldn't consider trading our owner for Calgary's.

I watched the Boston game and you guys definitely should have won that. Last night Markstrom was ontop of his game, but it seems you guys love losing to 3rd string goalies.. like a curse.. and what the hell has happened to Mangiapane and Lindholm this year?? I believe a complete fire sale is nonsense, but something has to change because you guys should be in a playoff position this season, not looking from the outside in.
