1. Sign Gaudreau, if he does not resign you might as well trade everything that isn't bolted down and rebuild/re-tool.
2. If you can re-sign Gaudreau:
Balance the roster. This is about the fourth off-season in a row where the Flames have to find at least a top 6, preferably top line, C. If they fail once again to find a top C, even with Gaudreau signed, they won't get much further. To do so,
3. Trade Tkachuk for assets to acquire a top C. Clear out cap (Monahan LTIRetirement? Lucic retirement?)
4. Trade Hanifin for a LHD who doesn't melt down at the first hint of pressure. These stats are just ugly. Hanifin was the worst rush defender in the playoffs for the second round. Does Boston want him for Lindholm+?
