Considering I posted they would consider doing this just yesterday, I'm inclined towards there being no plan.

I get the despair and disappointment, but I'm always amazed how quickly people take things to the ditch.
Safely assume?
From your keyboard you can safely assume what is going on with the Flames GM and hockey operations based on the move of an unknown core player for a first round pick?
We can't safely assume anything.
First off that may not be true, or it might be true but part of a bigger conversation that has other GMs guessing and telling Friedman what they think.
However if part of the core is on the move.
The Flames as a group my have decided the time to move part of the defensive core to make room for the emerging core is now, so they're kicking tires on moving pieces (Giordano, Hamilton, Brodie, Hamonic) for forwards that can step in or futures, or packages that contain both.
Maybe they like Brodie for a 1st, Stone for a 3rd and promote Valimaki and Andersson.
But safely assume is such an over step based on literally nothing.
