May not be a top six type pick but a decent one.
The problem.with the forward group as assembled is it's very unbalanced. You have Gaudreau and Monahan as the go to offensive grouping. Tkachuk makes the Backlund productive and that's it. And Bennett and Janko desperately need another skilled player on their wing as well. I could live with slotting Shore into that RW slot. But I feel like you can replace Frolik, Ferland, Brouwer.
I really do believe Treliving if he keeps his job is going to really overhaul the fw group. If he can get that by making room on the d corps for Andersson and say hitting a really great trade for Gaudreau, the Flames will look a lot healthier moving into the future.

See this is a reasonable post about trading your best player...some of you take notes
Multiple quality players and picks you look at. Personally I still deal from the defense to uprade the forward depth...right side in particular. Get JG some linemates he doesn't need to carry.
