Flames are full of playmakers. Let's see.. there's Gaudreau, and.... wait... is that it?
Flames could definitely use a guy like Drouin. Versteeg is a good playmaker, but then it falls off. Backlund isn't that great a playmaker - he just drives possession like nobody does. Ditto on Frolik. Tkachuk is a a bit of both, but I wouldn't call him a playmaker. Monahan is a shooter (underrated passer, but mostly a shooter). Ferland a shooter. Bennett is more of a shooter. I would say Drouin would fit really nicely on the Flames.
I would be shocked if a trade happened though. Drouin would cost quite a bit, and Calgary simply can't afford to ship a defencemen their way.
