A team that I would keep an eye on, should the Flames falter or the Tkachuk situation becomes an issue management wants to move on from; is New Jersey.
They are set at centre, and don't want to waste the prime years of Hirshier and Hughes.
It's not easy to pry an established young player (like Dach) out of a team and still get a "deal". I would take advantage of this with the Flames established player, Tkachuk, and cherry pick a blue chip prospect +.
Alexander Holtz + Micheal Mcleod would be a nice 'get' if Tre can't sign Tkachuk. Both right handed, Mcleod turning into a PK and defensive specialist in the NHL and Holtz has a very advanced offensive game.
Nothing to this speculation other than New Jersey being on the cusp, and could use immediate wing help.
