The Calgary Flames appear to be closing in on an extension with RFA, Elias Lindholm. Details being worked on but expectation is 5 or 6 years at around $5M per.

Sweet jeezus! Treliving is having a Ron Francis moment! But if Peters had used Lindy better, more centering Skinner and a better RW it might well have been 50+ points on mainly assists and we wouldn't be havin' all the angst we're dealing with.
If BP coaches in Calgary like he did here, he and Tre will be run out of town within two years!
Read a lengthy article (which unfortunately did not bookmark/fave) about how the Flames had no reliable right-handed faceoff options last season with citations by their GM and others of specific game situations where that cost them heavily.
So point of emphasis this off-season to remedy that deficiency. Hence the acquisition of both Lindholm and Ryan, both righties with winning face-off stats.
Method in the madness.
