Ace Rimmer
Stoke me a clipper.
Market dictates he's worth about $60 million over 6 years; might be able to shave off $500k, maybe a million, from the AAV if a couple extra years are tacked on.
I said this last summer, if they didn't have a handshake deal with him before July 1, they had to start shopping him on July 2.
Plan A is to sign him to an extension. He's the face of the franchise now. You gotta keep those guys.
Plan B must be to trade him if he's not extended by the trade deadline. The only way that shouldn't happen is if the Flames have somehow put it together under Sutter (not unrealistic in my deluded opinion) and are actual legit contenders and not a bubble playoff team.
Plan C is Treliving fumbles the ball and is fired July 2, 2022 shortly after Gaudreau signs somewhere else.
