Hmm some very interesting options for TDL pickups being discussed here, I think regardless of how we've played to this point, if the Flames are within 2-6 points of a playoff there is no way that Tre isn't going to add something to help the team. If that's the case I'd like to see a depth D and a RW who has the potential to slot well on a line with Huberdeau.
Depth D options:
- Schenn (Should be affordable, leads the league in hits, lots of experience with deep playoff runs with the Lightning, Sutter likes this guy).
- Klingberg (Not sure the acquisition price, but I thought he had a good showing against us in the playoffs last season and he would be a nice addition to our Jekyl/Hyde PP. He's on a 7M contract for just this season though, would need Anaheim to eat salary which might bump up the cost for the Flames to a point that wouldn't be worth it.)
- Dumba (Could be a good buy-low option, he's been healthy scratched a few times this season. plays physical, I haven't watched him much the past few seasons but always wanted him as a Flame when he broke into the league).
RW Option
- Duclair (3M for 3 years, an affordable RW option that performed well with Huberdeau last season, perhaps some durability issues? But, would be a value contract if he captures some of that magic with Huberdeau again).
- Barbashev (2.25M for this season then goes to UFA as a 27 year old, physical winger who got 60 points last year, has played over 50 playoff games and has also won a Cup - would love to get this guy but not sure the asking price, he's had a down year so far though so perhaps an option for the Flames).
