-RHC Oskar Sundqvist: Ok, he's older at 29 years old, but he's 6'3",210lb two-way player with a grinding, physical game.

-LW Danton Heinen: 27 years old, but he's an all-purpose player with excellent skating and some offensive touch.

-RW/LW Noah Gregor: He was rumoured to be coming to Calgary from the Sharks last season. 24 years-old, 6'0",185lbs. Gregor is an Alberta-boy, and his biggest asset might be his speed. He was a very productive player in junior, but he's still trying to put it all together in the big leagues. He's got good offensive instincts, and his defensive game is coming along- I've read a few articles over the course of his career to date that showed advanced stats that suggest that there's much more lurking under the surface offensively. Gregor plays physically, and is not afraid of going to the greasy areas of the ice.

-LHC Jesper Boqvist: Drafted in the second-round of 2017 (36th overall) by Jersey, and has been sqeezed out by all the talent there. He's 24 years old, 6'0" tall, and has smarts and speed. They may have given up on him too quick.
Really like all these options, especially Boqvist!

Was hoping if we were able to deal some assets (obviously hasn't happened) these would be a few of the lads to target.
