- Extend Gaudreau if he is willing to stay at a fair AAV or trade him if not
- Trade Backlund
- Trade Gio
- Take a run at acquiring Eichel if the price is right
- Replace the bottom 5 forwards in the regular lineup
- Only trade Monahan, Tkachuk or Gaudreau if it clearly makes us better now/in the future
- Sign Stone to league min

Trade or let walk: Backlund, Ryan, Leivo, Ritchie, Nordstrom, Simon, Gio, Nesterov, Dominique

Maybe I’m in the minority but I still like and believe a lot of these guys can be part of the solution here. I’m not going to let the pathetic scoring depth we have make me think our best players aren’t good anymore.

I still think Gaudreau, Monahan, Tkachuk, Lindholm, Dube, Mangiapane, Hanifin, Andersson, Valimaki, Tanev and Markstrom can be part of a winning Calgary Flames team.

I’m willing to trade some of these guys, don’t get me wrong, but I’m not running them out of town. If we trade any of them it needs to make sense as trading them for unknown quantities like picks/non-blue-chip prospects seems way too risky.
