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.

I have felt like Russell is a good fit there all season from the Isles end.
Lots of prospects but not sure who they would give up. Strome, Dal Colle, Barzal, and Pulock all feel like that would be an overpayment for Russell.
Flames probably want nothing to do with Ho-Sang.
Maybe a Beauvillier, Vande Sompel, Finn, Mayfield, Pelech, level prospect would be available.
I wouldn't mind doing something like a Russell + Wotherspoon deal where we give a long term prospect away to get a higher end prospect back. Maybe they want to unite the Wotherspoon brothers.
