Honestly a lot hinges on Gaudreau.
If Gaudreau comes back, then likely one of Tkachuk or Mangiapane needs to be dealt.
If Gaudreau leaves, then there's a lot of room for roster moves, although the team will be significantly worse (my guess would be a non-playoff team).
On D, I'm not sure the Flames can afford Zadorov. If they want Mackey to stay they likely need to make room for him.
At forward I think they need to open up spots for Pelletier and Ruzicka. That makes me think a lot of the lesser FA forwards won't be brought back. Maybe Jarnkrok if he's got a reasonable cap hit.
