Gaudreau+Kylington to NJ for 7th overall+Severson+Zacha

Calgary gives up by far the best piece, very likely that Gaudreau is the top producing player in a single season following this trade. NJ gets to shift into 2nd gear, giving them a legit star to pair with their two 1st overall talents. Kylington can maybe fill severson's role (or at least make the sting of losing him less bad.) NJ will still need to swing for a big defender, but they would have the horses up front to make some real noise. For Calgary, we get another top 4 RD with some room to develop still, a solid middle 6 C to grow into Backlund's defensive centre role, and a lottery ticket. I see this as more likely than Philly, given philly must be pretty happy with the way their roster is playing and probably isn't interested in giving us some roster players in addition to futures, which I perosnally think is a must in a Gaudreau trade. I think this offer beats what Buffalo could muster (unless they're willing to do 8th+Cozens or Reinhart, which i think is unlikely.)

Giordano+cgy 2nd to Toronto for Nylander

Toronto spins their cap hit balance into a Norris trophy winner. Gio gets a solid send home instead of a cold ship out. We get to take back a Calgary kid, and another swede. Our 2nd is to make up for the considerable age gap/ contract control. I'm mad at Gio for a brutal playoffs, but I think Toronto could still be getting the "better player" here and see it as a win for them.

Trade Ryan for picks. A team with centre depth issues will love him. Maybe florida?
Resign forbort for less than 1.5 mil (I think this is acheivable)

Throw Hall a contract offer.
Throw Lehner a contract offer.

Hall-Monahan-Nylander
Tkachuk-Lindholm-Mangiapane
Bennett-Backlund-Dube
Lucic-Zacha-Phillips

Hanafin-Andersson
Valimaki-Severson
Forbort-Mackey
Yelesin

Lehner
Rittich

Flames have 7th overall and 19th overall to build with, but I think still ice a competitive roster. The D could be scary, or it could be perfect in the mold of a new age agile d core.

Edit: I forgot the most important part IMO which is to offer a contract to Laviolette as well.
