He supposedly did make a play for Jason Zucker in 2019 that got quashed. That looks to be a case of the best deals you make are the ones you don't. But I think the scuttlebutt at the time was Frolik and a first going the other way. I would hope another pick coming back to the Flames too....
So it seems that they have looked to do this in the past, just that the players with term available in season often are not the Belles of the Ball so to speak.
