The first step to solving a problem is to accept that there is one in the first place. However, the Flames can still make moves to lengthen their window and make the most of their circumstances. Barring a surprise move for Weegar or Huberdeau before their new deals this summer or a shock contract waive, the Flames have virtually no chance of moving on from this group in the near future. You have to assume that this is going to be how the Flames look going forward. The Flames also have Rasmus Andersson and Blake Coleman tied up for the next three and four seasons respectively, and both have clauses built into their contracts. It’s incredibly hard to see Jacob Markstrom waiving his no-movement clause. Kadri, Huberdeau, and Weegar are all signed long-term with no-move clauses. The Flames are clearly much better than they have shown, and adding in the Flames’ contract situations, they are tied to this core for the next number of years. If last season was a near perfect regular season for the Flames and this season is a nearly perfectly terrible season, then you have to assume some regression to the mean. But these players have all shown themselves to be much better than their numbers this season have shown.
