I don't really care who it is really, we will likely need a stop gap guy for next season unless one of Nakladal, Kulak, Culkin, or Wotherspoon graduate. If the Flames could acquire a legit longer term top 4 guy that would work as well as they wouldn't have to then search for a Wideman replacement after next season.
Kylington/Hickey/Andersson will likely be pushing for spots to replace Smid/Engelland once they're done.
Just don't want Russell back as he doesn't have the size or defensive acumen necessary for the Flames to take that next step if he's in the top 4.
