I'm not sure that's entirely accurate. As much as i've enjoyed Gaudreau playing for the Flames, a deal that brings in a skilled, big RW that plays with snarl and leadership would be welcomed. We could actually start building towards a team identity that is difficult to play against.
I'm tired of having the softest top 6 in the league. Bringing in a player (that is rumoured to be available) of Forsberg's calibre would be a welcomed addition. We may down ground in total skill, but he makes up for it in his defensive game, board battles, leadership, and playoff performance. It's not like he's an offensive slouch either.
