Value of: Overpriced Top 4 Defense

Could of had Ceci and a 1st for Tanev but Flames ownership seems to be pulling the strings there. Not even sure if Ceci is overpaid for a #4

Instead of overpaid filler, why not get guys who aren't going to get serious chances on their current teams?
Jordan Harris in Montreal just needs ice time.
EDIT: Does Calgary have any prospects/young forwards who have middle-six potential, and that Calgary just can't give enough icetime to ? A flip for Harris could be a fit.

Pointless. All you're gonna get is terrible players with too many years left on their contracts, e.g., a pure cap dump like Ceci.
Weegar-Andersson
Kylington-Pachal
That's a good enough top four for the rest of the season. The bottom pairing is gonna be brutal if it's Oesterle-Gilbert but that's on Huska for not being willing to give Solovyov/Kuznetsov a longer leash.

Pachal should not be anywhere close to 2nd pairing. Like he's vastly exceeded expectations but that's rough.

Valimaki and Mackey trades are now backfiring on the Flames. Shouldn’t have given up on them so early.

I can see Bean, Peeke, or Bodqvist available from Columbus at a reasonable offerprice.
Valimaki was claimed off waivers. Mackey’s contract was up and he wasn’t willing to resign in Calgary.

I can see a fit there. FYI:
Peeke will be free for the taking after his buyout - it should be cheaper to use the
Bean, I can see the Jackets wanting him back if they trade Provorov. If not then someone has to go to make room for Mateychuk, and Bean could cost something like a 2nd or 3rd rounder. Bean is okay at everything but not as sturdy as you'd like.
The Werenski-Boqvist pairing is getting the best results so it's hard to trade Boqvist for anything less than a 1st rounder, and maybe nothing less than a mid 1st. They do have a logjam with Jiricek coming but it doesn't seem right to alleviate that by messing with the top pair.

Here for the hot takes
Nate Schmidt is your guy. He's a great presence in the locker room and probably the guy you want mentoring prospects. He's not a bad player either, just overpaid for what he brings (one year left on his contract), and I doubt Chevy would disrupt the locker room by moving him at the deadline when the team is contending. If teams were built on paper alone, I'd be attaching assets to him just to upgrade the position.

A big reason why tre bailed and only Conroy would take the job.
A couple guys already beat me to it. Might not be a fit because of the bolded bit, but if the Jets had a deal lined up for an upgrade and needed to clear space Schmidt seems like an ideal fit for what OP wanted.

That's the kind of thing the Flames should be all over if it's true. Just 2 years left after this one, which is kind of the perfect timeline for us. I'm just skeptical the Rags move their captain out and I don't really think he's overpaid.
