This team is not good enough for a deep push, and not bad enough to tank. Kind of an awkward spot, but I'd like them to add.
Round 1 and 2 picks are untouchable. As are Pelletier, Zary and Coronato.
Valimaki, Dube, Backlund, Monahan, Ruzicka are the best trade bait the Flames should offer. But some of the lesser prospects could stay on the table.
If Gaudreau or Tkachuk wont sign. They need to be traded and the focus should be on building a winner for 2 years time.
