Unless the Flames are willing to pull the plug on their top 4 D and move one of Hamilton or Brodie.

Kane is not going to return anyone of the calibre of the Flames top 4 D. I think they are interested in players for the future. A guy that would work perfectly for them from us would be Rasmus Andersson, NHL ready but no room for him on the Flames due to him being a RHD that projects to be a top 4D man. Obviously we add a bit more but I can see something like Andersson+Klimchuk+ a project like Hunter Smith getting it done. Of course the problem then becomes where do we get the money to re-sign him or is he a pure rental and if so is it worth it to pay that price? If we can re-sign him I would be ok with it, if he is simply a rental forget it.
