With Elliot's very respectable cap hit at $2.5, do the Flames target a free agent RW to play on the top or second line or perhaps trade for one? (Assuming we play Frolik on line 3 and Bennett plays C)

Gaudreau-Monahan-XXX
Tkachuk-Bennett-XXX
Ferland-Backlund-Frolik

Notable RW FA's

Loui Eriksson ($4.25) cap hit in 2015/2016 - Age 30 - Shoots Left
Kyle Okposo ($2.80) cap hit in 2015/2016 - Age 28 - Shoots Right
Chirs Stewart ($1.70) cap hit in 2015/2016 - Age 28 - Shoots Right
Steve Downie ($1.75) cap hit in 2015/2016 - Age 29 - Shoots Right
Troy Brouwer ($3.66) cap hit in 2015/2016 - Age 30 - Shoots Right
David Backes ($4.50) cap hit in 2015/2016 - Age 32 - Shoots Right

Then of course there is Lucic who does play LW naturally.
Milan Lucic ($6.00) cap hit in 2015/2016 - Age 28 - Shoots Left

Thoughts?
