I think lateral moves, or "hockey trades" are kind of the point, and really the most realistic way to tinker with the team.
After all, the Flames are/were a top tier team already. Adding anything gets increasingly difficult the closer to the top you are.
On the other hand, as a good team we have almost a full roster of pieces that are attractive to someone.
We're now at the tinkering phase, and things should mostly be about staying competitive and finding the right combinations of players for success.
Which is what we're discussing now; what (lateral) trades could be available and what would make sense.
