I thought the goalie situation in Toronto is pretty clear. They have Samsonov as the #1, Woll is a great prospect as a #2, and now they have Jones in case of injuries.
As for the D, Hanifin is an upgrade, but would you want to give up an 80pt winger to upgrade your 2nd pairing.
The argument for the cap dump doesn't quite work either. Calgary is currently $220k over the cap with 12F, 8D, and 2G. We'd need to find someone that can take the extra $2M in salary in a separate trade. Here are the teams that have that space right now : WPG, PHI, ARI, SJS, CBJ, BUF, DET, NSH, CHI, ANA. The only trade I can think of is something like Z for Gudbranson(50% retained) and a 3rd. In that scenario the Flames D starts to look very thin, with only Weegar, and Kylington on the left side.
