So with that in mind the trade isn't what I meant. I'm just saying that Flames forwards are not as drastically better than what was originally posted.

Um Monahan, Gaudreau, Hudler, Backlund has been effective in the top 6, Frolik is a top 6 forward. So I count 5.
I just can't count Draisaitl as a top 6, and I'm not convinced that Yak is a top 6 forward at this time, he's hasn't done anything to really earn that spot. Yak is a top 6 forward in name only.
Eberle, RNH, Hall and McDavid without playing in the NHL are top 6 guys.
