Hypothetical:
1. Flames lose play in
2. Trade for Hall's rights & sign him
3. Win 1st OA
Gaudreau
Tkachuk
Hall
Mangiapane
Lafreniere (presumably)
What do you do with five (what should be) top 6 left wingers?
1. Play a couple of them on RW and move Lindholm to C?
2. Play a couple of them on RW and keep Lindholm at RW too?
3. Trade down to grab Stutzle/Byfield and get some other assets?
4. Trade Gaudreau for a young potential top 6 C and/or RW and/or RD and/or picks?
I say a combo of 3 and 4. Imagine going into the season Tkachuk/Hall/Mangipane as your top 3 LWs while at the same time adding Stutzle/Byfield and also the return for Johnny....
A good problem to have, if the Flames lose the play in (I hope they don't) hopefully we get to find out.
