While remaining competitive. Shades of Philly with Richards and Carter.

This is a pretty good example actually.
Flyers moved:
Carter (26 years old)
Richards (26 years old)
for
Simmonds (23 years old)
Schenn (20 years old)
Voracek (22 years old)
1st (Couturier)
3rd (Nick Cousins)
That's the exact type of re-tool idea the Flames need to have when shopping Gaudreau and Monahan. Of course it was a different NHL at the time where veterans were still valued higher, and Richards and Carter both had term on their contracts, but that's the type of idea of what the Flames need to be looking for if they decide to move those two players.
