The more I think about it, the more I think it would be Hanifin leaving if the Flames traded for OEL. Either in the actual trade, or to a different team for a top 6 forward or for futures.
Giordano isn't going anywhere, IMO.
If they do trade for OEL, hopefully he has a resurgence with a change of scenery, and hopefully the Flames also rid themselves of over paid bottom 6 forwards in the trade, and for the love of god hopefully they keep (or replace) their 1st and 2nd round picks for the 2020 draft. I will be extremely disappointed if we don't nab a couple of (what will likely end up being) high end prospects in the 1st two rounds coming up.
