I would just get rid of some of my stiffs like Brodie, Frolik and I'd keep Monahan and Gaudreau and leave Giordano alone and with the C.
What the Flames need is a respected veteran forward who can contribute on the ice but more importantly cracks heads in the dressing room and calls out the stars when they are not doing their jobs. Tkachuk may be that guy one day but he's still pretty young.
Yes, I'm not in the dressing room but I get a sense the Flames don't have a guy who gets in the face of people like Johnny and Monahan and tells them to man up.
