The Flames will have to sacrifice some bodies to keep the core together.
I'd take a chance of signing and trading Mangiapane.
I think that Pelletier could take his place, albeit with lower points during his first NHL season.
That would free up about $3 - 4M to help pay for Gaudreau and Tkachuk.
I'd also try the same thing with Kylington and replace him with Valimaki or Mackey.
