Oof, ya that would be enough to get it done for sure imo. They’re asking for 2 firsts and a roaster player and prospect, so that’s pretty close. They’re asking for too much though.
How the hell do we sign Rittich, Stone and Tkachuk this summer then? Seems crazy. On the bright side Treliving isn’t a moron.
Yeah it's going to be tough, luckily for us Treliving seems to be a wizard when it comes to getting guys signed to friendly deals. Without Frolik, 17.5M to get those guys all in under the cap.
He's definitely got room to wiggle though, easily could move Brodie or Hamonic (not saying I like the idea of it) but they are replaceable with Andersson/Valimaki for next year. The Flames wont be able to keep all their young prospect d-men and current roster guys in the 2020 expac draft, so realistically we either move one for assets this Summer or lose them in the expansion draft. Everytime I look, that Neal contract makes me scratch my head, it's definitely a boat anchor of a deal (Not saying he'll be this bad for the entirety of it, we just have better players for less money)
