Move one of Giordano/Hanifin and there is now a need to acquire OEL.
Your top 4 in the future should either have the LD side as OEL/Valimaki or Hanifin/Valimaki. Doesn't make sense to acquire another D when offense has always been Calgary's main issue.

IMO you don't acquire OEL without one of Gio or Hanifin going....somewhere.
Also, OEL is a Dman, but he also brings offense. He was on pace for his 7th straight season of 40 or more points. He was also on pace to score double digit goals for the 8th time out of his 10 year career. The Flames D does not bring enough offense to the table, especially with Gio starting to possibly slow down on that front.
