My favourite options would be Stone, Hoffman, and then Simmonds in that order.
Stone would justifiably cost a ton to acquire. I could see he eventually re-signing here. Lots of reasons to stay in Calgary. Stone, Monahan, and Gaudreau could be a fantastic line for several years.
If those 3 are out of reach, I would wait until the summer and try to sign Kane as a UFA. Love the way he plays, and he makes a lot of sense on paper. The affect of personality issues are overblown. He's just one player, and he's getting older/more mature.
I just hope the Flames don't trade for a pending UFA. I also hope they don't acquire anyone on the wrong side of 30. As long as the target player is under 30, I'm fine with giving away picks and prospects.
Valimaki, Fox, Andersson, and Kylington are all great prospects. Fox probably won't want to sign here unless 1 or 2 of the other 3 are traded. It's too crowded for them all to get as good of a chance as they deserve.
