Let's make a deal with Ottawa -- impending firesale?
The Flames need to shake things up at forward. Ottawa needs to shake things up, in general.
Who could the Flames reasonably target from Ottawa?
Mark Stone - probably not available unless contract talks break down as he'll be an RFA after the season
Mike Hoffman - a really really good idea as he's only 28 and relatively cheap and signed through 2020, and Ottawa probably doesn't value him as highly as Stone
Matt Duchene - again, probably not available, Ottawa just got him
Bobby Ryan - why?
Derick Brassard - another intriguing option although it'd force Jankowski to be the #4 centre, but Brass is a VERY good centre who can score and play anywhere
Anyone else the Flames could target from the Sens? Zack Smith? J-G Pageau? Alex Burrows (barf)?
Personally, I think the best fit would be Hoffman.
