And that’s not including Kylington, or any NHL-ready players returned in the deals for Hanifin, Lindholm, and Tanev.
That’s not a great roster. But it’s not bottom five either. You need to have a deliberately terrible roster (CHI, SJ, ANA) or just totally implode (CBJ) to finish bottom five in the NHL.

Dumba is a bad defensive dman who cannot score points anymore. You could get him on the cheap at least.
Not sure why Brady Skjei would come to Calgary short of a massive overpay. There would be an actual contender who could probably pony up enough money. Even if he did sign, him and Dumba is a pretty big drop from Tanev and Hanifin as a second pair.
Really hope they avoid NHL ready players coming back for any of the players they trade. That would be a pretty big mistake given where they are at. Conroy avoided that on the Zadorov deal so that is a good start.
