I wouldn't mind the Flames doing a little selling and a little buying. I do think they should steer clear of a long term number 4 D due to expansion but I do think they should be looking st adding up front. Right now I see the Flames with only 5 forwards they need to protect. I can see them still believing and holding o to Ferland but Brouwer should definitely be exposed.
If the Flames could flip their rentals for picks and then put some assets together to upgrade up front for a final push I would be more than okay with that. Lean extra heavy on the big 3 D and add long term pieces while getting assets for rentals.
Engellend for a 2nd
Versteeg for a 3rd
Wideman for a 6th
Elliott or Johnson for a 2nd or 3rd
Then move a combination of assets to upgrade up front and in net. I know the cost would be crazy but Tampa has a forward and Bishop on the block
