Toronto has a fairly weak top 4 and they could use a right shot D badly. They have Kapanen coming up and could be a landing spot for Kovalchuk with the Lou connection. They are absolutely in a position to trade a forward for a D upgrade.
Flames are not dealing from a position of weakness that is laughable. Put a 24 year old Dman without a NTC on the market with that contract and get bids from multiple teams. If you don’t like the return then keep the player.
