Giggles and dreams before I take off for vacation:

Trade 1

To NYR: Austin Czarnik, 2019 1st round pick (CGY)
To CGY: Kevin Hayes (some % retained) - (extension gets negotiated 7 years, 5.75M per)

Rangers get a wild card in Czarnik and a 1st. Tree gets his #3 centre locked up, Hayes gets a long-term deal.

Trade 2

To CAR: Michael Frolik, Andrew Mangiapane, 2020 2nd round pick (CGY), 2019 4th round pick (NYI)
To CGY: Micheal Ferland (extension negotiated - 7 years, 4.5M per), Curtis McElhinney

Carolina gets Frolik as they continue to push for a playoff spot so they don't lose depth, and a 2nd + 4th. Flames get goalie depth for the run and bring back a player they believe in (Tree spoke to how hard it was to include Ferly). Ferly gives up some money (maybe?) for term and to come back to a city he has spoken highly of.



Depth for playoffs:

Gaudreau - Monahan - Lindholm
Tkachuk - Backlund - Ferland
Bennett - Hayes - Neal
Jankowski - Ryan - Hathaway
Dube - Quine - Lazar


Giordano - Brodie
Hanifin - Hamonic
Valimaki - Andersson
Kylington - Stone
Prout

Off-season:

Trade 1

To FLA: TJ Brodie
To CGY: 2019 1st, 2020 2nd round pick

Slightly less than what Muzzin got in return, but it's only for 1 year opposed to 1 year + playoffs. Florida builds out their D as they push in for Panarin and Goalie Bob.

Trade 2

To *Insert team*: Michael Stone
To CGY: 2019 5th round pick

Signings

Matthew Tkachuk (7 years, 7.25M)
Sam Bennett (2 years, 3M although I'd hope for 5-6 years with a 4'ish hit)
David Rittich (2 years, 3.25M)
Cam Talbot (1 year, 2.5M)
Taylor Fedun (1 year, 1M)

2019/2020 Roster

Gaudreau - Monahan - Lindholm
Tkachuk - Backlund - Ferland
Bennett - Hayes - Neal
Jankowski - Ryan - Dube
Lazar

Giordano - Andersson
Hanifin - Hamonic
Valimaki - Kylington
Fedun

Rittich
Talbot

Flames spend some future assets, but none are wasted on rentals and some are recouped in the Brodie trade.
