Is you sign Anderson , keep (by choice or not ) Coleman and Kadri , and maybe even move a 1st for another 25 year old to me that’s a horrible plan and no path forward .
Looking for value in deals for mid 20s players is fine , but you have to continue to collect picks and cap flexibility . So far this year we’ve taken on a fair amount of cap and run a pick deficit since the start of the year . That’s not a good formula to get this team to a multi year contender .
The next few moves will show where this team is going

Need to follow the Blackhawks blueprint. They started this season with 3 NHL forwards. Perfect environment for young guys to come in and experience the success they have had. Would Frank Nazar and Reichel have the success they have had if the Hawks had NHL players on their team? Almost certainly not. Same goes for Bedard. Flames just need some bodies who contemplate playing, like the Hawks.
