Voracek is far too risky. Becomes the highest paid player on the team and possibly as soon as next year would be the 4th best winger based on your lineup. A contract that likely will never be worth the cap hit again.
Myers now in the fold would then have the Flames forcing to protect Hanifin, Myers and Anderson in expansion so we lose our captain in a year or expose one of the young Dmen (obviously a trade could be made before expansion however$
Honestly where does the Morgan Frost hype come from? I rarely see a 27th pick in a draft 3 years previous who has had a modest start to his pro career get first line hype.

I don't really understand the hype either.
Compare him to a someone like Kailer Yamamoto, who we hardly hear about.
They're both 21. They were both drafted in the late 1st round of 2017. They're both pretty small (Yamamoto is very small).
But Frost had 7 points in 20 games this year. Yamamoto had 26 points in 27 games. Frost is a left-handed center, Yamamoto is a right-handed right winger.
Yet for some reason, Frost is better than Monahan?
Yamamoto is much better than Frost. And Yamamoto is No Good for obvious reasons.
I'd rather just have Monahan.
Remember how Lindholm was under the radar before the Flames acquired him? Treliving should aim for those types of players. The ones that would likely succeed with more of a real chance.
Luke Kunin had 31 points in 63 games this year. He's also a 21 year old center. Yet I bet a lot of people here haven't even heard of him.
