Trade - Troy Brouwer, Sam Bennett, Adam Fox to NYR for Brendan Smith, Mika Zibanejad
Bad forward contract for bad D contract, change of scenery type deal. Bennett and Fox for Zibs
Trade - TJ Brodie, 2018 4th (OTT 108th overall) to CLB for Josh Anderson 2018 3rd (CLB 80th overall)
Top 4 LHD on a good contract for a big young right shot power right winger. D traditionally more valuable than wingers, so Flames move up 28 spots into the 3rd round.
Sign James Neal 5 years, $5 million AAV
Gaudreau - Monahan - Anderson
Tkachuk - Zibanejad - Neal
Ferland - Backlund - Frolik
D. Dube - Jankowski - Foo
Shore - Lazar
Giordano - Hamilton
B Kulak - Hamonic
B Smith - Stone
Andersson
Smith
Rittich/Gillies
If Andersson performs well, look to move Stone for picks early in the season, or keep the depth for injury insurance.
