The smart thing, if you’re totally against rebuilding, would be to sell all the UFAs for futures, suck this year and then do a plan like this. The Flames never do the smart thing

no shot toews signs with the flames

I’d be down to do something like this depending on how Fabbro performs next season. I think you’d need to add on to Ruzicka though

Can't see the Hawks spending a 3rd for one year of Vladar. If the Hawks need a veteran goalie for next season, they'll just sign one as a UFA and hang on to that pick.

You genuinely think Calgary is going to let them walk for nothing?

Dallas is not interested but thank you for thinking about us

I don't, but I don't think many of the pieces they receive back in trade are going to be immediately part of next year's roster, so it's just easier to leave out those trades because then the focus would be on the trades themselves. Maybe 1 or 2 roster guys would come back. I'd expect mostly futures. I think 1 or 2 of the 5 guys walking won't be traded tho.
