I doubt it will happen but if I could see the following that would be great
To Ott: Monahan
To CGY: C.Brown, Brannstrom, 2nd
To CGY: Eichel+Kyrou
To St.L: Tkachuk
To Buffalo: Flames 1st, Blues 1st, Valimaki, Dube, Neighbors
Flames sign Vatanen as UFA
Gaudreau-Eichel-Kyrou
Mangiapane-Lindholm-Coleman
Lucic-Backlund-Brown
Lewis+Pitlick+Rookie+Ritchie in some mix
Hanifin-Tanev
Zadorov-Andersson
Brannstrom-Vatanen
Mackey-Kylington
Markstrom
Vlader
That would be a pretty epic shakeup of the core with Tkachuk, Monahan,
Gio out. Kyrou and Brannstrom help ease the loss of Dube and Valimaki, Flames have no 1st in 22 but would have 3 2nd round picks.
There is also the option of sending one of Pelletier, Zary or Coronato instead of Dube and the forward lines look even more deadly with Lucic sliding down to the 4th line and Dube-Backlund-Brown making up the third line
