I don't see how they could justify bringing in another NHL blue liner at this point. Obviously make an exception if you have the chance to acquire Erik Karlsson for the Sharks' package, but otherwise, the Flames have three guys in the AHL who can probably play in the NHL tomorrow. It doesn't make sense.
Treliving said it's the deepest group of forwards that he's ever had - no ####. It's the deepest group of forwards they've had since 2008, and on paper I'd say it's better.
If they're going to spend resources, it has to be on a goalie. But it doesn't make too much sense to do that barring a Smith injury when you can just sign Bobrovsky on July 1.
