Proposal: TOR - CAL

[GCK]

How about Marner for Huberdeau + Tanev

Seems like a worse version of Minnesota.

Assuming we are 100% ignoring the cap here (otherwise this trade would be borderline impossible) that really doesn't help the Flames improve as a roster. Championship teams are always built from the center down.

If Lindholm isn't willing to re-sign (which nothing has said he won't or isn't interested), Calgary is way better off selling a lot of the expiring contracts for a boat of futures, tanking for 2-3 years to get some high potential prospects, then jumping right back on the track like LA did

HFboards especially loves to view this as an option.... you generally need a lot to go wrong for a GM to truly embrace this.

I think you look at the fact that they had more points than the Florida Panthers... the fact that they're one season removed from winning their division... the reasonably fresh contracts with Huberdeau, Kadri and Weegar..... and this isn't a team that's prepared to embark upon a rebuild.
