I love the idea of getting Mark stone but I think the asking price will be too high. Some guys that I think are good fits for what the flames could use are Ferland or Kevin Hayes. Both are versatile options for the flames. Both guys bring size and are good on the cycle game.

Ferland is more physical, has been a force in the playoffs before, and shouldn’t be a disruption in the dressing room. He gives the flames an option on the top line if a circumstance arises where Peters wants to spread out some scoring. He could reunite Ferland with Johnny and Monahan and move Lindholm down to play with backlund and tkachuk if the team starts to struggle.

Hayes can play center or wing so having him would give the flames the option to put him on any of the lines. Plus he has played with Johnny in the past so there’s good potential for him to have chemistry on that top line if need be.

Versatility is the big bonus with players like this. I think going after a player like Simmonds or Stone sounds good but is the riskier move and far more costly. And a guy like Maroon doesn’t bring as much speed and skill as Ferland or Hayes in my opinion.
