So I think we'll be offering a handful of our prospects, including one of Gillies/Parsons.
Ferland + Parsons + Fox ???

No, no and no to every piece of that proposal. Fox has done things that haven't been done since the early 90's by a Dman at his level. Parsons is probably the best goalie prospect in the league ATM - Murray potential imo - Ferland is so close to breaking out and a good part of the toughness in our core.
I think you need picks to bring in Landeskog and the Flames just aren't in a position to deal more of them and aren't in a position to deal the strength of their prospects either with not as many high end picks in the pipeline next year.
Tree is going to have to find a team looking for cap flexibility in dealing a large contract e.g. Ryan, look for a UFA value signing e.g. Marleau, Vrbata or look internally at a Lazar or maybe swinging Tkachuk over to the top right side.
Also Ferland I think is still very much an option as he looked very good at times with that duo last year.
