Sure would be nice, too bad it's Eklund.

Bend over.......it would be stunning if the stars were unable to come to terms with him.

Fairly safe to say that 29 other teams would be wanting to trade for Benn. Doubtful he goes anywhere. Dallas will sign him.

Dallas would be crazy not to give him bank...but they did trade James Neal so you never know.
The Flames like Benn a lot and would be willing to move a lot for him.

Bob Mckenzie said on twitter, that none of the main RFA'S were close with any of the teams

Isn't there an Eklund thread somewhere?

If Benn were even remotely available (though the Stars will get him locked up), the Flames would absolutely have to get all over that. They'd have to move a pretty significant piece of course. But if we need to sacrifice a winger + pieces to get a center that would likely become THE guy for us, that would be just huge. My untouchables would be: Iggy, Baertschi, Gio, Wideman. And J Gaudreau is defs off limits... But everyone else would have to be fair game.

...Wideman is not off limits if I'm getting Benn in return.
Either way, the Flames shouldn't be willing to give up the true value to get him.

I was hoping Eklund would be a causality of the lockout.

Yeah I don't see Dallas even consider Calgary as a trading partner for Benn unless Baertschi is on the table.

So if Dallas's best player (a 23 year old who's one of the best young players in the league) is potentially available you'd offer anything... except our best forward and best defensman and our two best prospects?
That would be a pretty short conversation.

Gaudreau is off limits in a trade for Jamie Benn? Benn is proven, young and is going to get better. Gaudreau is promising, and sure, I have high hopes, but let's not overrate him to ridiculous proportions. He's still a year or two away from cracking the lineup and there's more question marks than there are answers in his game.
If there was a Benn for Gaudreau offer on the table and not that it ever would be, Feaster would be an idiot not to jump at it.

I agree Benn for Johnny you do it but not if it is Johnny + 1st or anything else highly valuable

Yeah, that conversation starts with Sven so it goes nowhere from a Flames standpoint and I don't think Dallas moves off it.
If it was Gaudreau being the centerpiece of a Benn deal? Umm yes, you do that immediately. Except I don't know if us trading our first this year is a good idea haha.

All fans over rate their best prospects. But man do some of us vastly over rate Gaudreau

I read an article about Benn and how he is very introverted and hates the spotlight. Dallas is the perfect place for him. He's not going anywhere.
