The Flames need guys who can be leaders on the farm team, plus Gormley has some "untapped potential" (dangerous term I know). He would probably pass through waivers rather easily and the Flames need guys who can be injury call-ups and help shield what's looking like a very young blueline in Stockton from being put in positions they aren't ready for.

I'd definitely rather a guy like Gormley than guys like Johnson. Gormley could still end up being a player at the NHL level (although it's looking less and less likely).
I think the is unlikely. I imagine they would be seeking a RH defenseman that can contribute in the top 4, especially since the only RH defensemen eligible to play for the Heat under contract are Kenney Morrison who was beyond underwhelming last season and Rasmus Andersson who may end up back in the OHL due to his conditioning.
