The best rental for the Flames is James Neal finding his game in the second half and into the playoffs. And guess what? That costs nothing.

I think that changes big time if Panarin becomes available. His agent and Jarmo have a meeting coming up soon here. Duchene as a rental is also easily with a first, but none of those three are guaranteed to be available for trade.
I also think a late pick for goaltending depth is a no brainer. Smith can try to find his game in Stockton. This season is going too well to not hedge our bets in net.
