This is not exhaustive - there's obviously many others - but these are the ones that show up with some high frequency. Particularly in proposals involving Josh Anderson, although one or two show up in Savard and/or "for picks" proposals as well.

The astute observer will note that there are three common trends going on here:

#1: "I heard you need offense, so here's a depth scoring winger."
(We've got a ton of those already. Indeed, that's pretty much 90% of our offense as is. Stuffing in more does not improve the team - they're not going to get the minutes they need; those minutes just aren't available. So it's not worth it to us.)

#2: "I heard you needed centers, so here's a depth/project center."
(We have plenty of depth centers; what we actually need is a #2C - and we already have four "project" guys, so spending otherwise valuable assets to acquire another is not going to help as there's not enough room for them all as is.)

#3: Any Left Defense Whatsoever
(Learn to read a depth chart and go away.)


EDIT 2020-07-18: Added Derek Ryan to the list, because apparently you have to explicitly enumerate these things when dealing with Flames fans.
