Batherson would be an incredible replacement for Tkachuk.  Big (6'3, 204), can skate, and can finish.  Sokolov has huge upside and is a huge player (6'3 222) with skill and finishing ability.  Sanderson has number one defenseman written all over him, in the vein of Scott Niedermayer.  You get to move out a massive salary and bring in three cost-controlled players that will immediately make the team deeper in skill and size, and give them some salary stability.  That would be a win for the Flames.  Depth matters more than high priced salaries.
