If this season goes sideways I can see Flames gunning for potentially Dubois and Hall.
If Tre was not willing to add Hall this season I doubt he will add Dubois, unless it includes some other pieces. Can't see him trading Rittich at this point after all the work he put in to create a strong tandem.

I agree at this stage of game I doubt any changes are happening. I have no doubt in my mind that in the past off season Tre probably explored trading a mony or Johnny but nothing came of it. Not sure what not signing Hall has to do with PLD? Flames #1 priority was to get a #1 goalie. My guess would be that acquiring a top line center would have been more of a priority than adding another LW.
IMO Columbus best hope is to play out the year with PLD and hope he changes his mind. I don’t see them winning a trade when it comes to dealing him. He has 2 years left on contract at a great price. If he was UFA after this season it would be a different story.
