Who did the Flames acquire in the Tkachuk trade besides Weegar?
They received a first-round pick that became Parker Bell along with other pieces. The anniversary highlights the long-term impact on both franchises.
Connor Zary trade rumors persist due to winger logjam. The Flames are listening on Whitecloud and Morgan Frost but not actively shopping them, per a recent article.
