At this time I don’t think the Flames should make any moves at the TDL.
I mean if there is a steal of a deal out there you do it but don’t force anything.
Do we need to upgrade our D? We could use a stud top pairing defenseman that is young and cost controlled. Every team wants that. Unlikely to happen.
Chychrun would be a nice add but the price is probably massive.
I will want to kill Tre if he trades for another 3rd pairing dman. Stone is insurance already, Connor Mackey is in the AHL but belongs in the NHL. Add Valimaki, and Kinvall if you get desperate. That is ten Dmen.
We have more than enough depth.
For forwards we need a top six player. That said Monahan is coming around as of late.
I would call up Pelltier and Phillips to play with Monahan.
Pitlick, Richardson, Ritchie, and Lewis can pound sand. I like Lewis for his defensive game. The rest are useless to me.
That line would give the team a third scoring line. Or at least potential for it.
It would give the prospects a chance to play with talent. They are talented as well on their own. I think it would be a good line.
It would also help our salary cap to if they play well.
Guys deserve a chance to play.
There are trades out there that could make the team better. I just don’t want more grinders for forwards or 3rd pairing dmen.
If Tre is making a trade make a statement. No more depth signings.
