The Flames need to shore up the second pairing. Assuming Boychuk and Staal re-sign (rumoured, I believe), Cody Franson would be a great pickup. 6'5 right-handed defenceman who's turning 28 and contributes offensively. Move Wideman down to the third pairing where he can play easier minutes but still contribute on the powerplay.
