I think that this team needs to do something that is scary for management, and that is to rebuild on the fly.

Whenever a high end D+2 (approx) player comes available, do to whatever development problems on the selling team, I think that Calgary has to jump on it. Take those chances on a high pedigree.

Some of them are obvious. Filip Zadina is rumored to be available by Detroit media. They are a you team that needs leadership and have nearly no long term contracts. They have high end young Swedish players. Dangle them Backlund for Zadina.

The new York rangers have serious internal issues with the handling of Vitali Kravtsov. They recently lost Lias Anderson to a similar situation, and recieved a 2nd round pick at the draft for him. Calgary is heavy on LD prospects. Offer Porier and Florida's 2022 2nd for him.

All of the sudden the future RW depth becomes Coranto, Kravtsov, Zadina overnight. Dube moves to center where he is much more effective. Zadina steps in right away and is a natural passer for Monahan.

The problem IMO is lack of risk taking to move out of mediocrity.
