I think at this point the Flames should be sellers. Any big acquisition realistically won't be helping this team for a deep playoff run, it's more likely to help make a playoff push so giving up tons of assets just to make playoffs isn't the best move in my opinion. We should be making a trade more so for the future so sell what you can and still try to make the playoffs with what we have minus a few subtractions.

These are guys I'd like to see moved:

Versteeg for draft pick(s)
Hathaway for a draft pick
Brodie to Dallas for Nichuskin (projected to return to NHL 2018/2019)
Stone to Toronto for Kapanen
