Description
Three trades and a couple signings define this summer. The Flames need to add some skill to the top six to make sure that when Monahan goes cold, the whole offence doesn't collapse.
Hayes getting signed to a big deal is expensive, but adding top six skill is not easy.
Jason Zucker has long been rumoured to be coming to Calgary, and this deal moves the first rounder and an effective checking winger for him.
The Ottawa trade is interesting, as Stone is a cap dump, but Jankowski is a capable young player with limited upside, but excellent on the PK. This is the type of player that can really contribute to a rebuild by shoring up different elements of the game and being young and cheap. Good depth is what is often missing in rebuilds. Because Janko won't move up the depth chart, his value isn't really high, but he does have value. A second and a late pick, plus Stone's contract, seems to be a decent price, considering Ottawa needs bodies and salaries as well. Reclamation projects go for a similar price (think Lazar) and Jankowski is more capable than that.
The Montreal trade is fairly straightforward. Calgary needs the cap space, Brodie is the easiest hole to fill in the top 4, and Montreal needs the d man. Brodie slots right in in Montreal, and if it goes well, re-signing him upgrades the 2020 pick to a second, a small price to pay (look at the Zuccarello re-signing price, for example).
Peters talked about moving Lindholm to center this year, and so adding Zucker and Hayes helps the right side of the ice, moving Brodie, Stone and Frolik clears up cap space. Adding two second rounders this year allows the Flames to either restock the cupboard a bit, or help them make some additional moves (Neal + a sweetener, maybe?).
With Tkachuk locked up, there isn't a major need to have cap space for a couple of seasons. Re-signing Hamonic after next year will be necessary, but between that, the growing cap and an expansion draft, this team could compete for two years, then figure out the future after Seattle arrives.

Spending 6m for Hayes and putting him at RW seems like a waste.

Sens aren't going to give up a 2nd for that. Stone's a cap dump; Calgary has to pay them, not the other way around.

I agree, Stone is a cap dump. Jankowski is not. I basically had two trades set up: Stone and a Calgary fifth for an Ottawa sixth, and Jankowski for a second and a fifth. So, I cancelled the two fifths, and it became Jankowski, Stone for a second and a sixth. If you like, we can include both fifths again.

I still don't see the Sens making a trade like that. Again, Stone is a cap dump. Upgrading a 6th to a 5th is not common compensation for a cap dump. Bickell, Hossa, Datsyuk, while they were mostly injury-based, came with Teravainen, Hinostroza/Oesterle, and a +4 on their 1st round pick along with a second, respectively. So while Stone is still capable of playing hockey, there's no incentive whatsoever for the Sens to make that trade. They theoretically barely move up (Ottawa's 6th is #1 in that round, Calgary's is midway through the 5th) on an inconsequential pick (that then gets cancelled by giving up their own which is also going to be #1 in the round) but have to take on a large cap hit for the year? Not really any draw to that. I don't see much of a problem with the 2nd and Jankowski part of the trade (although I'd imagine Ottawa probably holds on to that pick or looks for something more exciting than Jankowski), just that there's absolutely no point to the Stone side of things.

The hankering for Hayes reminds me of Doan/Iginla, Rattie/Baertschi stuff. Top prospects dominate lower leagues. Expecting them to rekindle chemistry years later at the highest level is tough to see.
