Hope Conroy doesn’t do it. I just don’t know that I’ve ever seen value out of acquiring a depth player for a 4th round or later pick, in 25 years of being a diehard fan. Would be happy to be proven wrong.

I don't think too many people though it getting Neimenen, Nilson and Simon as bottom 6 forwards, in 2004 was going to move the needle, nevermind the Flames were far from a lock from the trade deadline on, to make the playoffs.
Nilson was for a second, Neimenen was for Jason Morgan and a 7th round pick.
Simon was for McLennan (3rd string goalie) and Betts.
Those are the types of depth moves the Flames could use this year too
Maybe not three player but something to bolster a lineup that has punched above its weight class.
