Hopefully though the surgery proves to be successful and Sean can come back and contribute....he deserves to as he's busted his busted ass for years and i for one have only seen another flame try so hard (Tanev) ....outside of that to play that hurt and still actually contribute is pretty awe inspiring .

Stastny is a guy I wished the Flames would have targeted had Monahan done the right thing and disclosed his season ending injury prior to the deadline. Gaping hole on this team is 2C as Backs isn’t that guy and we have to stop pretending he is. Very good 3C but not a 2C.
If we can make space (and I think it’s time to move on from Monahan and Lucic), maybe we can get Stastny on a short term deal. Neutral on Milano, he’s bounced around and not getting qualified is a red flag. There was that incident with AJ Greer so maybe not the best character guy. Rodrigues benefitted from increased minutes on Pens with Malkin out, don’t see him repeating those numbers.
If Stastny isn’t available, maybe a guy like Henrique would fit bill. Played well with mangiapane at worlds. Schmalz would be fantastic but probably too much to acquire. Still think Montreal might want to do something. Dvorak perhaps? And as a total wildcard, since Chicago is trading everyone, maybe a guy like Kurashev.
