Yes. And if there’s a hockey trade like the Kadri trade or the Zucker trade to do that, I’m definitely for getting a top 6 forward. But I’m also against trading Frolik or Brodie for less than their full value for cap reasons. I think the Flames could easily have more money than in my proposed scenario by signing Tkachuk and Mangiapane to slightly lower AAVs (ex: $7.7M and 1M would mean slightly more than $500K cap space), all while keeping both players until they can get good value. Heck, if you don’t need Brodie, he might fetch a 1st rounder plus at the deadline.
