Letang is elite offensively, defensively leaves much to be desired. I would still welcome him on the Flames, but the Flames are rebuilding and the assets to give up for him would be too much. If he hits FA, make a pitch, but I wouldn't give up assets for him at this point in time.
If Calgary was a contender and was in need of an offensively gifted defencemen, then I would hope the Flames would be looking (especially if they had rugged, stay at home D), but just doesn't make too much sense in trying to get him at this point.
