Mangiapane wants out, Markstrom wants out, and who knows on Kuzmenko and Sharangovich.

After the March 8th Trade Deadline, the Flames went 7-13-0, good for 0.350 hockey. That should be the target next season. .350 would put them in 3rd last this season.
The Flames should not be adding at all. They're at the threshold they need to be right now.
I would like to see them go into next season with effectively no roster changes outside of Markstrom out and Wolf in 100%.
As-is today, the Flames have $67.875M on the books for 24/25. Retain on Marky, and sign Wolf to $2M'ish, and we're probably around $66.5M, and just need to sign/call-up two defencemen.
That's what the Flames should be doing. On paper, they're good enough to be a bottom-3 team next season - and protecting that should be their goal. Anything they do to add to their team is doing literally nothing but putting their own drafting position at risk (and thanks to Treliving, their own actual pick).
