I originally wanted a top 4 D-man out for a scoring, top line winger. Now with Kylington out an undetermined amount of time, I don't know if it's realistic to do that early season. May have to acquire one closer to the trade deadline.

I could see the season going as follows

- Struggle out of the gate from October until December with all the new players finding chemistry (fans lose their minds and call for major changes)

- Start to find a groove and close in on the top 2 teams in the division early 2023

- Have lots of pro rated capspace heading towards the trade deadline, make a move with a draft pick, highly touted prospect (Coronato?) and roster player for a star, scoring winger, possibly even just a rental.

Then the Flames continue their ascent and start to become a contender in the March/April months and come into the playoffs as one of the hottest teams.
