I think the Flames could try to take advantage of a struggling team here.
Ottawa
Tampa Bay
LA
Dallas
Toronto
All teams that will want to make a splash to try to ensure they don't get too far behind the playoff race here, and I think you can sometimes play these teams and the teams holding those playoff spots against each other right now.

I think these rules will eventually lead to more deals before the Xmas break then we see most years. Normally even if the Flames continue to lose, odds are maybe 1 trade will be made before the new year. I think there could be options earlier.
