I chose none of the above.

I don't know if there will be a fit anywhere in terms of price of acquisition and desire to come here/bring them in.

The Flames desperately need 2 top 6 forwards.

If Backlund and Frolik are in your top 6, you're not a playoff team. They are elite 3rd line players, but if you don't have the depth to have them in their proper roles, your team is not very good.

The Flames could always use a center and a RW. It is possible to shift Janko over to the wing if a C is acquired.

Anything less than this

Gaudreau-Monahan-New guy
Tkachuk-New guy/Janko-New guy
Bennett-Backlund-Frolik
Miscellaneous guys that earn the 4th line spots.

probably means the team misses again. Ferland should not be counted on as a top 6 forward. He is basically this team's version of Glencross. A guy who can pot 20, but is still a 3rd/4th line forward.
