Skinner and Ferland both UFA’s at the end of the year. This would chew into Calgary’s cap space badly though.

If we are talking real numbers, the flames would take a downgrade on the Hamilton-Hanifin trade, a lateral move on the ferland-lindholm deal and Skinner would be the filler that you would hope makes up the difference.
Trading away superior talent for the expectation of untapped potential or expected player growth is a big gamble. The flames have an established track record of losing that gamble. I'm not going to be cheering for them to roll the dice again.
