Yes, there are ways we can squeeze in a top 6F within the cap and not be reckless with our defense core, but most of them involve packaging negative value contracts like Mike Stone and James Neal with picks/prospects. And the irony of that is that we ostensibly need Mike Stone to convince Mark Stone to re-sign.

What GM is going to trade away their #2 guy, even if it means getting a top 6 player in the lineup? Top defensemen dont get trade...
Unless they do....
But when a fanbase is in love with a player who's value has never been higher, it would be crazy to trade them...
Dougie Hamilton was the Flames #2 guy and was traded....
The Flames have extra guys right now and the loss of Brodie wouldn't hurt to much especially if it meant adding a guy like Stone to the lineup.
Anything is possible and none of us are the GM so no one should be acting like they know exactly what will happen. You can guess, and ultimately someone will be right but as of right now, no one knows what will happen so don't cut down someone's ideas down because you don't agree with them.
