Wyshynski’s guide for all 31 teams for the trade deadline. Great read. Flames content below:

North Division

Calgary Flames

Status: Tweener

Players, picks in play: 2021 first-round pick, C Sam Bennett ($2.55 million, RFA in 2021), C Derek Ryan ($3.125 million, UFA in 2021), G David Rittich ($2.75 million, UFA in 2021)

What to watch: On April 1, the Flames had a 10.7% chance of making the playoffs, per Money Puck. That's probably high enough to prevent them from trading too many players away at the deadline -- Calgary didn't lure Darryl Sutter off the farm for an in-season dismantling. Is it enough to make the Flames a team to make additions? One would hope they'd have a more measured view of their current status than to give away the future for a futile push for the postseason. But GM Brad Treliving has been all-in all season.

What they should do: If they can find teams that want to trade for Bennett and Ryan, make those deals. The lack of goaltenders with expiring contracts available could make Rittich valuable, and the Flames should listen. But obviously the heavy lifting will come in the offseason, as Calgary takes a microscope to its core of players to see that -- finally -- it's time to move on from the Sean Monahan and Johnny Gaudreau era.
