What should the flames do This trade deadline? Well to me the flames are an interesting team because they have a team that should be good, who should be contending for top spot in the pacific division. But the fact is they are not there as of right now, so should the flames be a seller or should they try and add someone who could put them over the top. Well in my personal opinion they should just reset and prepare for next season, and not shop the prospects and picks we have. I personally would like the flames to try and shop Jakob Markstrom, because he’s on the decline as a starter in the league and I think vladar and wolf could be our future in net. Dustin wolf has surprised a lot of critics being that he is undersized and has been one of the best goalies in the AHL. If the flames were to add to the team instead of subtracting, what should that addition be? Well a top six forward would help solidify the top six on the team someone like Travis konecny or timo Meier. A depth defenseman would also help the flames someone like luke Schenn or gavrikov who is on the blue jackets. On defenseman that I think would be awesome to acquire is Jakob chychrun the only thing I have against it is that we would need to add a lot to that deal which I’m not very good with giving up a first round pick or any of our top prospects like Connor Zary, Dustin wolf, Jakob Pelletier, Matthew corranoto( he isn’t signed yet). I would be fine with trading kylington( i don’t know if he’ll play again for the flames) Phillips sadly won’t play for the flames while sutter is the head coach, so trading him would be fine. One thing I think about when talking about the flames this season is look at the team when sutter took over for ward in the shortened season gaudreau and tkachuk both sucked under sutter for the rest of that season, then the next season both tkachuk and gaudreau both had career years in all sides of the ice. Now why does that encourage me? Well Huberdeau, and Weegar and somewhat Kadri are on pace for career lows in all areas of the ice. So that encourages me that next season all the players will be back to normal and be better under sutter. So I don’t think firing Darryl sutter would be the smart thing to do. The bottom line is the flames need better from both there goaltenders if they wanna make the playoffs. I do think that the flames should start vladar a bit more being he has been the better goalie so far this season I’m not bashing Markstrom at all just think Markstrom needs a mental reset. Should the flames miss the playoffs I think treliving will get canned before Darryl does. I think the darryl signing was more ownership then treliving. Tre needs an extension as well. If he does gets canned I could see Craig conroy becoming the GM which would be cool.
