If the Flames are still at the top of things and looking like a real threat come the deadline, Wayne Simmonds is the perfect choice.
1 - Rumoured to have been our target had we traded Dougie to Philly
2 - Is physical and would be a huge benefit in a 7 game series against bigger teams
3 - would give us:
Gaudreau - Monahan - Lindholm
Tkachuk - Backlund - Bennett
Neal - Jankowski - Simmonds
Frolik - Ryan - Hathaway
I also assume that for us to stay at the top of things, we’ll have already acquired another goalie so we’d have New goalie + Rittich.
