After some time to read/listen to what the Flames players and management have had to say, I wonder if the intent will be to add to the current forward.
What would it take to get Josh Anderson? As reported earlier, the Flames have been very interested in adding Anderson. Would he be a good RHS to add to Gaudreau-Monahan? Can adding ‘Tom Wilson lite’ change how effective the Johnny Monny combo perform come playoff time? Is that wishful thinking?
Jarmo is a pretty shrewd GM. The Flames are going to have to give something of value up, no question. People were suggesting Bennett for Anderson prior to the playoffs, based on this past performance, would the Flames want to move Bennett?
Mangiapane for Anderson?
Hanafin for Anderson?
Does CBS add in either trade? Anderson not playing last year is a big question mark.
Top three lines;
Gaudreau-Monahan-Anderson
Tkachuk-Backlund-Lindholm
Lucic-Bennett-Dube
Admittedly, the suggestion of trading Mangiapane will be hugely unpopular, but the Flames are deep with LHS throughout the line up. He’s also sub-200 lbs which the Flames also seem to have an abundance of. Can adding Anderson provide what is needed to the top line?
