Unless the trade is for a significant non-rental, I don't see the Flames parting with any current roster players outside of Czarnik, Prout, Frolik or Mangiapane. I would say Stone or Smith, but realistically, they have no asset value. Neal's contract makes him pretty much untradable, but I don't think Treliving would give up on him yet anyway (nor would I until we see him in the playoffs).
The way I see it, our rental trade bait is:
* Our 2019 and 2020 1st rounders and all other picks.
* Frolik
* Mangiapane, Dube, and other prospects not named Kylington and Valimaki (who I consider NHL players at this point). But the 2 mentioned are likely key ones that have the most value.
For significant non-rentals, I could see Kylington and Jankowski being dangled.
