I don't think they are necessarily targeting anyone. With the hot start the insiders were bound to ask Flames brass what their plan is now due to being a playoff contender much sooner than anticipated. Basically all that has been said is what we heard before: the Flames will make trades if it makes sense long term and they have the green light to spend to the cap if the value is there.
I have doubts anything happens this season. In the summer they can sign Gio, Minahan and Johnny to extensions. I also see them being aggressive to add another top end player via trade when teams are looking at their annual spend.
Now that some of the young assets have prove their worth I can see a quality for quantity trade happening over the summer where the flames acquire a large salary for lesser pieces
