That might be interesting but Ennis is done as an NHL player, would we just buy him out or have another Brouwer in the lineup? And who would go still, Ennis doesn't have that much negative value.
Ennis+Coyle/Nino for 2019 1st?
Ennis+Coyle/Nino for Brodie then sign Hickey or something?
Ennis+Coyle/Nino for Andersson+2nd?
I think I would rather they sign Neal or JVR. Well Tavares ideally, but that's not going to happen. The back half of those ufa deals might not be great but I think it's less risky than trading anymore futures imo. Brouwer was already mediocre and a bad signing the moment he was acquired, same with Raymond. Just because the Flames have been burned by signing bad ufas in the past doesn't mean they should be scared of signing good ones now.

You 32 posters nailed the Neal acquisition.
So Lindholm AND Neal added as top 6 forward options, plus Ryan as a middle six and Czarnik as a wild card.
What blows me away is 118!!!!! people thought Tre wouldn't add ANY top 6 forwards! You know who you are.... 
You've been schooled for doubting the wizard. Haha

Shame on me. Guess I was just a bit jaded after the last 3 seasons and thinking the wheels would just keep spinning the way they were. Lots to look forward to this season.

I stand by my reasoning for that vote. Too many offseasons of big game hunting failures. That it totally came to fruition this season is a HUGE yay for me. No expectations = no disappointments.

Defensively responsible right handed center/RW and a stud pure goal scorer.
Well done, Tre.

I like that since the signing, based upon your count, it appears 9 have now added to the Neal vote...

I hadn’t voted but selected Neal and Lindholm, curious if someone could have picked 2.
I would have gotten neither right beforehand.

Haha. Same thing happened after I bumped the thread due to the Lindholm addition.
It was 8 when I bumped it, at 21 now haha.
That's why I copy and pasted the names, so their genius was recorded.

Voted James Neal because after seeing him play so much in the playoffs this season with Vegas and last season with Nashville, thought he showed the right combination of skill and grit as well as veteran moxie, for him to be the best fit on this team.
Now time will tell...
