Another interesting trade to come for the Calgary Flames?
As we all know, it has been an emotional summer for Calgay Flames fans. After seeing the team's top scorer in 2021-2022, Johnny Gaudreau, sign a free agent contract with the Columbus Blue Jackets, there was that famous trade involving the Florida Panthers where Matthew Tkachuck was sent to the southern United States, while Jonathan Huberdeau and MacKenzie Weegar came to Alberta.
Afterwards, Nazem Kadri was signed and Sean Monahan left for Montreal. With all of these changes, it's safe to say that the Flames will have a whole new look in 2022-2023, but as Marco Normandin of Habsolumentfan.com reports, it looks like GM Brad Treliving's shopping spree is not over.
According to Sportsnet reporters Eric Francis and Elliotte Friedman, the Flames, who currently have a surplus of defensemen, could sacrifice one in a trade soon.
This is something to keep an eye on between now and the start of the season:
Still according to the two journalists, it could also be that Treliving would like to add a forward, in order to give more bite to its attack. And the two players targeted by the Flames organization would be Evan Rodrigues and Sonny Milano, who still have not signed a new contract.
It is clear that with the addition of one of these two players, the Flames' offense would be very well balanced and the team will undoubtedly want to compete with their provincial rivals, the Edmonton Oilers, for the top spot in the Pacific Division in 2022-2023.
By the way, we're talking about a surplus of defensemen for the Flames, as Kent Hughes and Jeff Gorton have openly admitted that they want to add a right-handed back by the start of the season. Could the two organizations make another trade together? To be continued, but there is a possible fit here.
