Option 3 looks pretty awful. The only good way I see that working out is to sell high on Mangiapane and trade him for a legit PPG player, and hopefully the Flames don't add much. This is a bit of a hail mary, but you never know.

Option 4 might be to add some short term contracts to guys not getting the interest they think they should be and are looking for a prove me contract.
Might be an ok option but the Flames need to flip these guys or other players
Or gain assets bailing out teams looking to dump salary
If Tkachuk did resign and Kylington and Mangiapane did long term as well the Flames probably don’t have cap space
