Guys coming in
Hagman LW (30) from Finland, on pace for 29 goals, 48 points
Stajan C (26) from Ontario, on pace for 60 points
White D (25) from Manitoba, on pace for 48 points
Mayers (35) from Ontario, is a plugger who can't score
Overall, I am disappointed with this deal. I don't like giving up a big time player without getting one back. Phaneuf must have been a problem, and the team simply needed to unload him. The Flames also need help up front, which they got. They also could conceivably have White and Stajan stick around with the Flames for awhile, as they are in that mid-20s range, which means their best years are about to unfold. Hagman's offfense will also help this team.
