I could see him fitting in on either of the top 3 lines, I'd like to see him on the 2nd line, bumping Frolik down to the 3rd with Bennett and Jankowski. Frolik is a great player but seems to be missing that scoring touch. Can't help but wonder what would happen to the scoring out put of Backlund and Tkachuk with a real sniper on there line.
Here's my propsal
I know the exchange of picks isn't much but Calgary is hurting in that department.
Jon Gillies
Adam Fox
Micheal Stone
(Helps make room for Andersson, might make signing Mark Stone easier for ottawa)
4th round pick
Mike Hoffman
Mark Borowiecki (helps makes room for Chabot, let's Calgary fire bartkowski into the sun)
6th round pick
Is this unreasonable?

I'm not a fan. Borowiecki for Stone is a major downgrade in play, same number of years. Pick swap is a similar downgrade. And 2 years of Hoffman for 2 strong prospects + losing other parts of the deal? Hoffman is not the answer for this team, stacking more left shots doesn't make sense, as you then have Gaudreau, Tkachuk, Hoffman, Bennett, Ferland and Frolik all as left shots in your top 9, with only two of those guys playing well on their off wing.
