For some reason I envision a Hamilton-Marner type deal over the summer. The Leafs will absolutely want to add a top blue liner and the Flames could acquire a skilled forward who could rekindle his chemistry with Tkachuk.
The worst part is the blueline is playing no where near their potential. I read an article showing Gio-Dougie were a dominating top pair but the eye test doesn’t show me that. Gio is still elite and Dougie has some games where he is incredible and others where he is awful.
Hamonic has been brutal outside of 2-3 games and has come no where near the cost paid to acquire him

I would be more inclined to trade Brodie over Hamilton, but Brodie's play over the last year and a half is probably known by every team. I truly believe this team will not be able to make the next step without going out and trading for another legit top 6 player. Bennett has stagnated big time and thinking he will have a backlund like development curve may be fools gold. I really don't want to see another season flushed down the toilet, a season where Johnny and Monahan are playing their best ever hockey.
