5 Trade Targets to Improve Oilers Defense
At first glance you can’t possibly believe Brad Treliving and the Flames will let a high-calibre home grown top-pairing talent like Giordano walk and hit the market next year but the Flames will be in tight to get a number of key players re-signed next summer.
The entire top-line of Johnny Gaudreau, Sean Monahan and Jiri Hudler will be looking for new deals not to mention the team only has five forwards signed through the 2016-17 season. Even worse neither Jonas Hiller or Karri Ramo have deals past this season. The Flames will be up against it to get everyone re-signed and Giordano might price himself out of the Flames future plans.
