I don’t know if the Flames make a blockbuster this summer. I do think we will see Brodie moved almost certainly and guys like Frolik, Jankowski, Stone shopped. A new goalie is likely but I would be surprised if it wasn’t a tandem type to play with Rittich. The Flames need some flexibility, size/grit, and could add some prospect depth.
Trading an unprotected 1st then missing the playoffs by 11pts warranted the franchise alerting blockbuster that occurred with the Canes. Losing in the first round won’t cause a similar reaction even though that is what some fans want.
