...I mean, I'm not against that completely, as we saw a lot of very entertaining losses this year - but just make sure that when you say things like this, you actually understand the impact it will have.
If we had moved Cammy for a pick at the deadline, it's pretty likely we're drafting 2nd or 3rd, not 4th.

I'm not saying throw the season, just that LW is cluttered and we already have enough competition there, potentially open an opportunity for a young guy who earns it or at least bring in an actual right wing.
I know they are playing guys on their off wings because there are already so many left hand shot wingers with the flames, Bouma, Hudler, Glencross, Colborne, Galiardi and Byron are all left shots who played wing for part of the year.
If you want to spend 5 mil a year, chase after someone like Callahan who is a natural right wing. You can convert players but making and receiving passes on their backhand during the rush is a bad scene, unless you want the flames to be a dump and chase team they need some actual right shots. If a young guy like Gaudreau or Sven earns a spot among the remaining left shots next year because he's gone, all the better.
