I've accepted that the Flames aren't picking up another big forward, and the more I think about it, it's probably the right choice.

The Flames have limited cap space. Unless the team can get better goaltending and defence, they aren't going anywhere. So basically, the best option is to see if the team is competitive with the new moves. If so, pick up that forward at the deadline.

Hopefully, Valimaki turns out this year, which will make Hanifin expendable. Then you can potentially move him in a 1/1 trade for a top line forward, without having to give up futures.
