In the world of hockey, the Calgary Flames face a pivotal moment as they consider potential trades ahead of the season. With star players like Johnny Gaudreau and Matthew Tkachuk drawing significant attention, there are a few names that many may overlook but could bring valuable assets in a deal. Among these players, Sean Monahan stands out as a candidate who, despite his injury woes, has the potential to regain his form and be a difference-maker for another team.
Another intriguing option is Noah Hanifin, whose skills on defense have often overshadowed his contributions to the Flames. As teams look to strengthen their blue lines, Hanifin's ability to log heavy minutes and contribute offensively could make him a sought-after asset in the right trade scenario.
Additionally, players like Elias Lindholm and Andrew Mangiapane deserve mention as possible trade candidates. Lindholm continues to demonstrate his reliability as a two-way forward, while Mangiapane's scoring touch and versatility make him appealing for teams looking to bolster their offensive units. Both players could fetch significant returns for the Flames if they decide to move them.
As the trade deadline approaches, the Flames must weigh their options carefully, evaluating which players fit into their long-term plans while also considering the value they can obtain in return. The question remains: Will they hang onto these hidden gems, or will they brave the market to shake things up for a fresh start?
