Flames aren't gutting their defense, especially without improving our top 6, This is really bad

I definitely see what you're going for here.

Brodie and Frolik are 98% on their way out soon as Tre finds the right deal. I'm less and less convinced that Hamonic is on the block. I think they might have been considering it to see what the market is but at the end of the day we'd need to resign or trade for a guy like him anyway. Brodie and Frolik would give us the space to sign the remaining RFAs, Andersson/Valimaki/Kylington are ready to step up, and Stone can be the 6/7th guy and play out the last year of this contract if a buyout isn't feasible or a trade doesn't work out.

MTL doesnt need RHD, MTL decline

Yes Treize131 exactly. Many on here don't see the long term when analyzing these. Thanks for the respectful reply.
