All 3 D pairs are solid as are the goalies. L
It wouldn’t shock be (barring injury) the Flames stand pat and depending on how the season unfolds they visit trading a Dman for picks or a young player st the draft.
They need to get Backlund signed though as they absolutely cannot lose that asset for nothing

I agree.
the team looks a lot different since Hathaway was added to that 3rd line...it just seemed to allow other spots to be settled as well. The injury to Frolik looked to completely disrupt that, but Brouwer has filled in there enough to not affect everything else. The team is still woefully short on the right side however, as the Brouwer thing could go epically sideways at any given moment.
So for now I think they wait and see how long the current version of the club can play as they are. There is no hurry to make a deal if they keep picking up points most every night. Should it start to skew the wrong way again, then they have to the end of Feb to make the deal to correct it.
Tonights game may tell a good chunk of that story as well.
