Trade Vladar to open a spot for Wolf. Return and destination is not important.
I think it's more likely that Markstrom moves at this point. I doubt any team takes a risk on Vladar without retention.

Trade Mang to open a spot for another player. If you think he is worth more than a third pretend it was a second cause if I had the return as a second someone would be crying that he isnt worth that much at his cap hit.
I agree with you here, he needs a change of scenery, and I'd rather have someone else on the Backlund line for the entire season. The development time in the NHL for a player like Coronato or Pelletier on the Backlund line could be worth more than the difference between a 2nd and a 3rd.

Hague is big physical defender that could be a good player for the Flames for a long time still. Maybe Conroy values that more than our supposed top prospect after an underwhelming first pro season. Not to write him off, you are getting a proven NHL player in return that doesnt come free. Vegas has crowded blueline and needs money out. Maybe it doesnt take Coronato but the point is to acquire Hague.
I don't think we should have Coronato in any trade rumors at this point. The Flames are likely to add a top 4D, but I think they will be looking for a more defensive D-men at the tail end of his career(Martinez, Brodie, Forbort), or someone they can take with a sweetener (like Orlov, or Schmidt). On the same note I doubt that Tanev comes back here(which I would love), because he said he wants to compete for the cup.

Notice Hanley was traded for a 7th round pick. The point is get rid of him to open space. Waivers, whatever.
Yeah, that makes sense, but I think it will probably happen at the conclusion of all the training camp battles. Hanley is fine as the 7th D. That said, I would prefer to lose him than Solovyov on waivers.

Stephenson could value playing close to home, choosing a retooling Flames team. If the contract is off slightly whatever, it is more about the player.
Stephenson does seem like the sort of player the Flames like to target. I think you're slightly low on his cap hit. The projections I've seen so far are in the $5.5-5.75M × 5 range, but that's very plaussible. Conroy said that he would be looking to sign UFAs for 2-3 year contracts. He outlined someone for Huberdeau to play with in his season end interviews. I think that likely means Duclair, Arvidsson, or Duchene on a 2-3 year contract. I also think that the Flames will likely trade one of Kuzmenko and Sharangovich, so that player would take that spot.

Beauvillier has been playing bottom 6 for awhile. This is about adding a vet to the bottom 6 at a reasonable cap hit.
Back to you Craig.
As for adding bottom 6 players, that seems a little counterproductive, as our bottom 6 is mostly full. If you want, you could bring Greer back. That said, I prefer to give Pelletier, Coronato, Schwindt, Morton, Duehr, and Klapka the opportunity to fight for a spot in training camp.
