It'll be interesting to see how Treliving manages the defense as the trade deadline approaches, as well as on July 1.
The Flames have excellent prospects coming up on defense but it's really too bad they're all left shooting guys. If both Brodie and Hamonic are no longer Flames next season, the Flames look very weak on the right side with only Andersson.
Right shooting dmen available July 1 as of today: Pietrangelo, Barrie, Schultz, Bogosian, Vatanen, Tanev and Montour. Montour would be the youngest at 27 and Pietrangelo the oldest at 31.
I guess it'll come down to who Treliving values more - Brodie at whatever dollar value he believes he can get him for or one of the free agents above come July 1.
