I don't know where another forward would fit.

RW: Neal, Lindholm, Ryan, Czarnik, Brouwer, Foo, Hathaway, Lazar
C: Monahan, Backlund, Jankowski, Quine, Dube
LW: Gaudreau, Tkachuk, Frolik, Bennett, Mangiapane, Klimchuk, Shinkaruk

You can shuffle a few of those guys between positions which gives you some flexibility, but even with that we are full and then some. Keep in mind that a number of our depth forwards are waiver eligible (Klimchuk, Czarnik, Quine, etc) so putting them in the A is a risk.

If anything the Flames should be trading a forward or two to improve defensive depth or add some insurance in net. I guess we could look at a forward for forward swap, but I don't see any scenarios Detroit would be interested in that make us better.
