I really hope Treliving is able to get the Flames out from under some of the junk contracts they have on the books next year. Not all of these contracts are horrible but they chew up space on bottom pair/six/press box and the Flames could use those $ on more pressing needs.
Moving Wideman, Bollig, Raymond, Smid, Engellend that have one year left would be nice
I think shopping Stajan and Backlund should also happen. Backlund is 26 on pace for 40pts and has always been a fan favorite of the geek statboys. Perhaps they shop him for a top 4 D or top 6 forward?
I would like the flames to have the flexibility to make positive changes this summer. Right now it looks like they can sign a goalie, pay Gaudreau and Monahan and that is about it
