Flames are filled up on the left:

Giordano - Andersson
Hanifin -
Valimaki -

So preferably you'd keep or acquire a couple right hand shot Dmen, and one of them needs to be top 4 capable.

There also won't be a crap ton of money to throw at the D in the off season, especially if they bolster the forward group with the supposed mutual interest between CGY and Hall.

Of those free agents only Stone and Hamonic are RHD.

Hamonic will be overpaid for what he brings IMO, but maybe with a flat cap etc he and his camp will be more willing to take a team friendly deal?

I'm not opposed to bringing Stone back as a 6th/7th depth option to battle with Yelesin.

Giordano - Andersson
Hanifin - UFA or trade RHD
Valimaki - Yelesin/Stone

Kylington there to battle with Valimaki as well.
