Andersson -> Traded this Summer.
Mangiapane -> Traded this Summer.
Kuzmenko -> Traded in-season.

You've effectively completed the rip-down component of building a new team at that stage.

You still have plenty of veterans in Kadri, Huberdeau, Weegar, Miromanov, Sharangovich, Backlund, Vladar, and Coleman followed by a younger group in Wolf, Zary, Coronato etc. and then a plethora of high value picks in 2024/2025/2026.
If Kuzmenko is a legit 35-40 goal, 70 point winger who makes your PP click (which is what he has been for most of his limited NHL career outside the start of this season) I would consider signing him to a 3 year deal. Not sure what he returns for the Flames is equal to what he brings that cannot easily be replaced.
