I can see the Flames doing nothing at the deadline but it won’t be for lack of trying.

Evander Kane remains among a handful of rentals I could see the Flames looking at. I see them sifting through the bargain bin a guy like Sharp, Vrbata etc but Kane is the only name guy I could see them getting. He fits the age and physical style the Flames want to play. They only get him if the price drops very low and they can send players like Shinkaruk, Klimchuk, Poirier for him so very unlikely.

I definitely think the Flames could be a destination for Max Domi. The management group here drafted him in Phoenix and it doesn’t hurt giving up futures or prospects to get him because he is young. The risk is he has been declining and could be a more expensive version of Lazar. If the Flames make a play for him I would be confident Treliving/Maloney know who they are getting and it is a classic change of scenery deal.

I know the draft is the typical time to do a hockey trade but this will be Treliving’s last chance before the summer to make a move. Could he consider moving a core player? Brodie, Bennett, Frolik, Stone?

Personally I don’t think the roster as constructed is going to get it done. Playoffs are not a given and if they make it I don’t see this group winning much. I hope the team looks slightly different and adds some scoring power before 1pm Monday.
