It's the top end I'm worried about.
I actually like the Flames forward depth right now and would prefer to target a d-man. Specifically a hard hitting stay at home #4 type.

If Alex Chiasson is the best winger you can find for Gaudreau then your top-9 has some issues. I'd say their top-9 is decent but definitely could use some upgrades. They need a RW badly. No use in targeting a #4 d-man until after the expansion draft. I think we're stuck with what we have for the season.
