Bear in mind, for one reason or another this team hasn’t been able to draft and develop one since 2015. Prior to that it was 2007. Basically, 2-3 top 6 C’s per decade.

If they’re going to make a trade for a 21/22 year old C with top 6 upside, it won’t come cheap. I think it’s going to cost more than a collection of picks and/or aging vets. It’s going to cost a prospect, like Bru or Honzek, or a young player in the NHL now, Zary or Coronato.

If they’re Glames think McTavish is a guy who can hit his potential here, I would also have any of the 2024 picks on the table not named Parekh.
I would think, center position or lack of.

Is Conroy's number 1 objective to fix,

Drafting will be difficult, simply there are likely not low enough in the standings to address this.

Flames won't make a terrible move, however this type of trade is very difficult in my view.

Could take awhile
