All depends on what OEL is, a cap dump like fans think or a #1D with some decent trade value. Duha mentioned that OEL makes 3.3 more than Hanifin so you just need to find that money.

If OEL has no trade value and is a cap dump then maybe Flames get him at slightly reduced salary for a draft pick/Ryan combo?

If he has value, then I dont really know what Ari would be looking for. Nothing major going the other way obviously.

Then Tre could trade Hanifin for a top 6 RW.
Replace Ryan with a much cheaper player.

Dollars would still work.

And the Flames need a #1D replacement for Gio. He won't play forever. OEL may not be on everyones wish list, but #1 D dont go to market often. Would be a waste to have a great goalie but lack a #1 D.
