With limited cap space and an uncertain roster, don\u0027t expect the Calgary Flames to make any bold moves when NHL free agency begins Saturday.
Sorting through that list remains the priority for a lot of reasons. Trades could free up cap space. They could bring useful pieces in return. Ultimately, who Conroy trades and what he gets back will be significantly more meaningful to the construction of the 2023-24 roster than anything that happens on Saturday.“I don’t want to rush anything. I don’t want to just make a deal here just to do it, that doesn’t make any sense,” Conroy said. “With Lindy, we’re still talking.
And time is on his side. The looming start of free agency isn’t a deadline, real or artificial, for moving players or roster construction. If the Flames have to move on from guys like Lindholm and Hanifin, there is going to be interest throughout the summer and into next season. It’s also worth noting that while their cap situation and uncertainty surrounding next year’s UFAs are affecting the Flames’ ability to sign players on Saturday, Conroy has also made it a priority to keep spots open on the roster for young players.Article content
It likely means that Milan Lucic and Trevor Lewis, both in their mid-30s and unrestricted free agents on Saturday, are unlikely to return. Whether there’s a future in Calgary for Nick Ritchie and defencemen Troy Stecher and Michael Stone is entirely unclear, too.
