I would pass on Malkin for sure. Great player but do not want to part with the assets it would take to get him.
To me, the Flames should be focusing on good young defensemen. Franson will be available via UFA but I think some packages could be put together to entice some teams to move a blueliner or two. Not sure who those guys are, would need to research a little more but I think that should be the focus.
