Dependent on the acquisition cost and the cap implications for next year, I think Vrbata would be a good pickup. A decent right-wing option for the top line if Ferland should falter. He's played with high skilled players before, and while clearly going to be a passenger on a line with Gaudreau he wouldn't be a burden. I think he would be one of the better bargain-bin pickups for the Flames. Again, dependent on cost.
