Completely unrealistic, though.

I hear you and Marner is a fun player, but in my scenario Marner is the Leeman. Not because he is bad like Leeman, but because he is the wrong move for the Flames right now.
Because for one skilled player that probably doesn’t move the needle on this team, you’d be giving up the future Flames stars scouting would find us with the picks we’d get for these ‘last year of awesome contract top UFAs.’ We are talking a 1B centre and first pair Dman on sweet contracts, we should bring in a haul. In this draft there are lots of players I’d like to see on the Flames from 15-60.
If we’d just haul in picks this draft and let our amazing scouts take care of the rest we could be 2-3 years away from being in the hunt, after what would likely be another fun rebuild (the last one was AWESOME).
