Unsurprisingly, the Calgary Flames are bad once again.

Last season, they nearly squeaked into a playoff spot, finishing tied with the St. Louis Blues on points (96), but ultimately finishing outside a postseason berth due to the tiebreaker of regulation wins.

Whatever magic they had in 2024-25 is now gone, as the team has bottomed out and will be obvious sellers heading into the deadline. In Daily Faceoff’s latest trade board, they listed five Flames who could be traded, but it appears as if MacKenzie Weegar may be traded to the Utah Mammoth.

In this edition of Meet the Sellers, we’ll look at the other four Flames players who Daily Faceoff listed on that trade board. We’ll also identify the Edmonton Oilers’ needs.

Identifying the Oilers’ needs

As has been the case throughout this series, any move that the Oilers make before the trade deadline requires money to be moved out. They placed Mattias Janmark on long-term injured reserve and waived Andrew Mangiapane before the Murphy trade, and they’ll need to trade Mangiapane before their next move.

The Oilers have had no issues scoring since the Olympic break, scoring 22 goals in four games. On the other hand, they’ve allowed quite a handful of goals, 16 to be exact. In three of the four games, the opposing team has scored four or more goals.

Goal prevention is a big need for them at the trade deadline, and they’ve already taken a step to improve that, trading a 2028 second round pick to the Chicago Blackhawks for Connor Murphy (with 50% retention). Next up, they need a third line centre who is defensively sound, and could use some more scoring in the middle six, because why not.

Goaltending remains an issue for the Oilers, but it’s hopefully........
