If the Flames are going to move Johnny, they need to address the gap in the 1C position.
Konecny seems a fine enough player, but he's not a puts-butts-in-seats star like Johnny, And he's probably not a needle-mover in terms of team success when you lose Gaudreau in the bargain.
For me, if Johnny is getting traded, I'd sooner see the Flames add in order to get a genuine star at center back.
