The Flames blue line is underwhelming, but its not a dumpster fire.
We at least didn't purposely go and inject our top four with #### in the offseason (cough-Keith-cough-OEL)

Nurse and Barrie and Hughes and Meyers are dumpster fires?? and Hanifin and Tanev are not dumpster fires?
You do know that just a year ago Tanev would have been considered the #4 d-man on the Canucks behind Elder, Hughes and Myers?
What would the Flames have to give Vancouver to get back Hughes? Would you be at all happy if somehow the Flames got a clone of Hughes to play for them?
I would suggest that Zaradov would not be considered at at as good as OEL or Keith by most unbiased analysts. There might be a reason that the Flames did not have to give any assets replace Gio with Zadarov/Gudbrandson
When you start pushing Valimaki and Andersson as top-4 d-men then based on the most recent years performance then the Flames are hoping for a small manageable dumpster fire.
