Berglund - 100+ hits already and a big mean body that can play a 200 foot game, 700 faceoffs/51%, 12 G - can be used in lots of situations
Iginla - The story writes itself, RW - probably not full time with Johnny/Mony but certain situations for sure, just really would like to see this happen.
Stone - Still young, big, mean RHD that IMO could potentially replace Engs though that will be tricky with the expansion draft and what not. This is the guy we should be looking at to bring in for Brodie's right side. None of our current defenders have ever thrown 200+ hits in a season like Stone has, hope we take a stab at this one.

Conroy has already stated the Flames are not going to be looking at rentals. From your list above I would be okay with Stone and Iggy but I don't see it happening. I do not think Treliving should be spending assets on rentals as this team is too far away. Conroy did mention they are looking at longer term fits so signs point to a right winger. Flames really only have 5 forwards they have to protect (Gaudreau, Monahan, Backlund, Bennett, Frolik) so they could be in a spot to add a couple forwards and they could be apart of the team going forward.
If they decided to trade one of those forwards for a Dman they could explore the 4-4 protection option. I just don't see any of those 5 forwards moving
