If/when Tanev and Hanifin are traded the Flames are going to need to fill two defensemen spots with NHL caliber players. Players that they do not have on the farm.
It makes sense for a Barrie or Deangelo to be acquired if the cost if bare minimum and the Flames are still chasing and believing that a wild card spot might be available.
Does nothing good for the team and especially the young players for the organization to just mail in a bunch of losses because they lack the talent to be competitive.
