Here is a quote I dug up for those that keep wanting/trying to shoe horn another LHD into the Flames top 4.

Flames head coach Glen Gulutzan mixed up his defence duos ahead of Tuesday's road date in Minnesota, pairing D Mark Giordano with D Dougie Hamilton and putting D TJ Brodie with D Dennis Wideman. "For me, it's about balance," Gulutzan explained. "Gio and Brodes can handle minutes but the reality is you can't get the matchups every night that you want. We need balance from all the pairs."Gulutzan, who reunited D Deryk Engelland and D Brett Kulak on the third tandem, is a fan of left/right-shot pairs. "I think it helps you spread the ice out," he said. "It helps you play quicker and spreads the ice out in the offensive zone and through the neutral zone"

I guess it's not impossible that Tre would acquire a top 4 lefty, but I wouldn't bet on it myself.
