Who would you be targeting with the likes of the 1st, Eberle, Yakupov, Schultz and to a much lesser value, Hemsky?

It's hard to say because as fans we don't know who is available.
Nashville would make good trading partners. With Seth Jones playing so well they might be willing to move Roman Josi, plus a solid bottom sixer or two for a skill infusion.
Rangers have Giradi, Staal, and McDonagh. Nash is out with a broken head. They might want to cash in some D for O. Sather likes to make big moves.
Ottawa has a lot of middling young depth that they could part with.
Its probably not prudent to trade any of the young talent for depth though. Flames fans have seen first hand when you trade guys like Regehr, Phaneuf, Bouwmeester, Iginla for futures or depth you just end up with an even crappier team. You need to get a solid contributing piece in return.
