If we can't get the C we covet, Sam could fill the role, or buy the team time for improvement.
Not popular but I wouldn't mind seeing Matt moved. To be fair, he is not the only underachiever. I know he is young, but when a player shuts down his play despite the team efforts that's a big concern. Young guys on this team need players leading by example, can he do this? Matt didn't really snap out of it until the end of the season, which is something you don't want to see from a future leader.
Declining players? Some more options to improve team style and culture.

agreed. Rienhart is an interesting player who, by all accounts, should be available. He fits the profile Treliving has pursued before as well. Plus he is a former 2OA pick, so that should mean the Flames are one step closer to the cup in the minds of a few posters.
Interesting article by Eric D in the Athletic this morning speculating on Philadelphia-Calgary as suitable trading partners. He didn't propose a trade, but just speculated on players that could be available including Couturier, Patrick and Tkachuk.
