We can all guess at another teams needs, but always interesting to see a subjective view that's more central.

Just don't see how their needs are much different than the Flames actually. The Flames need basically all of their potential NHL ready defenders if they are going to address scoring with a trade.
The Flames need Gillies as well.
IMO It would be even more unwise for the Flames to start dealing away prospects than it is to deal away picks. They really need guys like Anderson and Foo to not just step in and be adequate, but to be very good.
I liked Rittich but can the team really rely on him? IMO this might be the year to deal Rittich and not Gillies, then run with Gillies as the backup and hope and pray.
Just don't see a fit with Chicago, can't really offer them NHL ready defenders unless it's brodie or hamilton and I don't think there is a trade there worth making from the Flames end. Maybe Saad, he would solve a lot of issues, but I think the price will be too steep.
Minnesota looks ripe to blow some things up though, could be a great dance partner.
