Flames will have no interest in Patrick. You don't trade a franchise player for a guy with a chronic condition that can knock him out for extended periods of time at a moment's notice. Flames will also have to take on some salary.
Nothing? Seth Jones? Zach Werenski? Pierre Luc Dubois? Josh Anderson? Oliver Bjorkstrand? Elvis Mzerlikins? Joonas Korpisalo? Seems there is lots there that could be quite useful. Components are there IMO.

Jones, Werenski, Dubois are all untouchable - but yes, all 3 would interest me.
In a return for Johnny? Zero interest in Bjorkstrand, Mzerlikins, Korpisalo, and Anderson.
The idea of trading for the 7th is if Hall is already signed, or his rights at least already acquired.
Disagree on Patrick. Assuming the worst isn't the only way to go, and I'm sure there are doctor reports available through the Flyers that are more informed one way or the other than random internet speculation.
