With Tre known to have been looking for an upgrade at 2C I could really see something around Brodie and Jankowski for Nuge. Flames might have to add a little more but the cap hits would be close. And although they would be losing one their handful of NHL forwards they would be adding a guy who would be playing 25 minutes a night for them on the top pair.
I don't think it's crazy.
And even though it doesn't address toughness it opens up the possibility of going Tkachuk -Nuge -Bennett which has lots of potential and would be good at both ends of the ice.
