Given the injuries and general lack of cohesion on the defensive side should this team make an offer on Chychrun ? The reported ask is 2 firsts and a prospect but I'm sure a package could be put together to equal that . He's 24 and signed at 4.6 through the end of the 24/25 season while being arguably one of the top D in the game .

I've always felt Chychrun was over rated. Since Arizona is having such a difficult time trading him at their asking price I have to assume 31 GMs think that also.
Calgary should save their draft picks and prospects for a clutch goal scorer.

our blueline is elite af when OK comes back.
Honestly I think we need help up front and in goal but we have solid forward and goalie prospects. I say we stay the course and keep filling holes internally but we all know we’re going to add a Fantenburg type who is much worse than our available prospects

Injured so far this year but a rock star when he's healthy , nobody wants to pay that price for an injured player but somebody will pay come TDL day if he stays healthy , OK is a huge unknown , what if there is no change and he doesn't come back this year ?

I agree we need another top 6 scoring winger but if OK doesn't come back this year then Chychrun is a true top pair puck moving Dman and I would rather not let him go to a competitor .

Stone is a capable replacement/fill-in for Kylington while he's MIA with what I've read to be a family member health situation. Now if we hadn't acquired Weegar I would be much more receptive to getting Chychrun but with Andersson, Hanifin, Tanev, and Weegar... plus you have Zadorov who is playing very well... the Flames don't need another dman of Chychrun's caliber. I think any Flames draft picks and prospects are much better spent on a scoring forward.

Stoner looked pretty good last night against the Cats , it's good to see him in the lineup again . We do need another legit top six scorer , but it takes having what the other guy needs to get him unless we can snag a freebee off the waiver wire . You can never have too many guys who are legit top line at their position and we aren' t using the prospects we have already , I would rather have the bird in the hand than the unknown bird in the bush a draft pick represents . Just my thoughts but we could sure get a good piece at the TDL if all these Dmen stay healthy .

Not when they could be getting Kylington back. This team is good defensively.

I've mentioned Chychrun before, even before your post. It's just a major luxury that would be completely unnecessary when acquired. It'd be hilarious and he's totally a Sutter styled player who absolutely might flourish and be injured less not being the go to guy on the team like Tanev on the Canucks, but completely unnecessary.
