From there you need to have what the trading team wants AND beat out the other teams interested AND likely hope that the player will waive a current NTC, AND if they're close to free agency you have to hope they re-sign with you rather than walking.

Spoiler alert: Gotta get some bottom 5 finishes to have a chance at building this Flames team into a contender.
