Équipe: 2020-21 Flames de Calgary

Date de création initiale: 18 août 2020

Mode - plafond salarial: Basique

Big changes that will never actually happen, but I'd love to see this Flames core drastically changed. Monahan and Gaudreau are not playoff performers and although their talent is unquestionable, isn't the entire point of building a great core to win Cups?

- As noted again below, many will balk at the potential Eichel trade, but I have to think there's at least a slim possibility of that going through, if only due to the fact that Eichel could very well ask to be moved in a season. Money in-out there also adds up fairly well for both sides, with a total swing of approx 3million.

- Lehner signing adds stability not seen since Kipper. Rittich is still very capable and could also become a valuable trade piece during the season/deadline. Just don't think he's a bonafide 1 and Lehner has been excellent the last 2 seasons. Seeing him besides this strong Flames D-core would be fun to watch.

- Depth signings of Edmundson and Larsson are subject to change. Other similar players could replace them or no new D is added if they want to go with 2 young guys in the 5-6 slots.

- Don't love the Flames forward depth here, so maybe there's another F signed and no Edmundson addition. But the Eichel addition cannot be understated.
