Team of intrigue now are the Isles. They've lost Hamonic and Boychuk for some time. Could be a good trading partner given the excess depth the Flames have. Russell would be a prefect fit for them IMO. Eklund seems to think the Isles were already looking for D men with some term left. He could also be of benefit for them for a couple of seasons.
Going through their Roster on GF, not seeing much in terms of good player fits, even prospects I am a little iffy besides the one they'd be hard pressed to give up in Barzal. Don't know what the current relationship is with Strome right now either so I wouldn't wager he'd be available.
They have 4.5m in cap space. I am assuming that is before Boychuks cap hit is onto IR. So they're in cap trouble. Maybe not a fit for Wideman but definitely a fit for Russell if there's roster player coming back of use to the Flames.
