I would think the one asset the Flames have that would get it done (other than the young core guys) would be the 2016 1st.
Either that or some kind of package that was enticing enough, something like Hudler, Russell and Hickey? Doubt that does it though.

I agree it is unlikely the Flames trade Giordano. He is our captain.
But he doesn't have a NTC. The one from his last contract doesn't apply in the last season and his next contract hadn't kicked in.
It is also a trade that makes a lot of sense for both teams. Flames get a young top 4 on a great contract. The Islanders improve this season. Something that will be difficult for them to do considering the circumstances around this leak.
