As much as GG has shown he's not capable of being an NHL coach, the offensive power of the roster is really lacking depth, and there's no forwards in the system in place to come and step up. Flames need to get forwards that can produce off the UFA market and via trade. If you're trading, and Gio is untouchable, only Brodie and Hamilton will bring a forward that could contribute.
I think the defensive prospects the Flames have make it worth the risk to shed some defensive talent.
