The Flames can get by next year with

Giordano-Brodie
UFA-Hamilton
Kylington/Andersson-Kulak/UFA

I think one of the two Swedes should be put in the NHL next year. Tell them both one of the spots is up for grabs, they just have to take it. If that doesn't inspire Rasmus to get in shape, then there are more issues there than there should be. I would like a quality #4 to replace Wideman. Whether that's Stone Alzner Daley or someone via trade, the Flames need to upgrade that spot with a legitimate top 4 D-man. The #6 UFA guy could be a depth signing or a veteran like an Oduya or Campbell or similar such guy if the $ makes sense. Oduya and Kylington as the 3rd pairing would work well considering their off ice relationship.

Up front the Flames need 1 UFA RW and hopefully another through the draft or trade. Ideal scenario for adding an asset without a cost is getting Owen Tippett or Nolan Patrick and plugging them into the lineup somewhere.
