It depends on the cost of bringing guys in. If the Flames go on a huge win streak and are in a playoff spot at the deadline, do they bring in help or just trust the team that would be playing well enough to get them there? Why give up assets when the team is doing well already?
I think Stone would be a great addition to the team but not until the off season. I don't think Engelland is coming back tot he Flames and I'm willing to bet he ends up wearing a letter for the Golden Knights next year.
I really don't think the Flames should be buyers unless they can get a player at an extremely low price.
