Immediate help to make the team better
UFA list is extremely small, almost non-existent
Then you can assume that Craig and the team are investigating all options.
There's a few names I've heard in Rossi, Peterka and Byram, but I could see McTavish and some other high profile names be on that as well.
In terms of cost, the following willy apply:
If your name ends in Wolf, Coronato or Parekh you're not going anywhere
In terms of veterans, Kadri & Weegar also not going anywhere
Not giving up premium assets for minimal upgrades
2026/27 1st round pick off the table
Huberdeau's contract makes him pretty much untradeable
I'll add that Backlunds loyalty to Calgary is not lost on Craig, but if he wants to move on for a cup then he controls his fate
Anything else can be had for a price.
