So much work to do to ice a squad in the coming year. Top D, Top line Winger(s), top line center?... All depends on who sticks around to do what for how long, but we know Darryl didn't come in for a rebuild, so the team is going to be pushing hard at the tail end of the window for the current (previous?) core (Monahan, Gaudreau, Backlund)
So in my dream land, they sign Landeskog and trade Monahan and Gaudrea to buf for Eichel. Top line is set with Lindholm on wing.
Need a stud left D, that ain't Hanifin yet. Gio didn't have a great year, but he's still a hell of a hole to fill.
So hopefully BT is all over a bunch of exciting moves and the Flames get a serious re-tool and play decent hockey in front of their very decent goalie. But more likely, being the Flames, they'll leave some huge wacky positional gap unfilled for a couple years and wonder why they don't win more.
