Good post, I'd argue that using a top four dman to acquire Brady Tkachuk would extend our window but it would also make us weaker in the early stages of that window (the next few seasons), and you have to remember that Giordano is our number one D-man but not for long, he'll be falling off at some point, likely when Tkachuk starts becoming a star (if he does at all).

I don't think I could get behind any trade that takes away a star/strong Flames player and returns a future, no matter how good that future is thought to be.
