Eric Francis of Sportsnet: Sure the Flames could use someone like Max Pacioretty or Mike Hoffman to improve their top-nine forwards, but at what cost?

Francis wonders if defenseman Erik Karlsson is made available, could he be a fit for the Flames and what would it cost them?

What if they offered Adam Fox, goalie prospect Jon Gillies or Tyler Parsons, and defensive prospect Rasmus Andersson or Oliver Kylington? Would the Senators be interested in that type of package or would they need to include a roster player as well?

The Flames have the salary cap space this year to add him.
