I like how you snuck Kevin Stenlund in there. He would be a sneaky pickup, as a Joel Otto lite. I don't think that you would have to add a second. Kylington is oddly underrated by Flames fans. Having a decent but not great rookie season is not a sign of failure.
Also of note would be that Farabee slots as a second line LW instead of a fourth line RW, but hey maybe there's that much depth.
I would do :
To Columbus:
Oliver Kylington
Mark Jankowski
To Calgary:
Josh Anderson
Kevin Stenlund
To New Jersey:
Johnny Gaudreau
To Calgary:
10th overall
13th overall
Micheal McLeod (I think that this player should be a RW, and would flourish there, he is nearly McDavid fast)
To Philly:
Sam Bennett (I think that Bennett would be a cult hero there)
To Calgary:
Shane Gostisbehere (50% retained) (Philly has been trying to move him for over a year, and he would look fine on the second pairing)
Sign Hall
Sign Sir Johnald Gillies as backup (ok, I haven't thought this through all the way)
Let Johnny trade be a mini-regroup for 2022.
Stenlund, McLeod and Anderson patrol the bottom six, and make them actually dangerous.
