[QUOTE=moon;3987525]Those both look like non-play-off teams (assuming our current core of forwards) and it isn't like those are the only two options.
Getting rid of your best defensman makes no sense, especially when there are a lot of other guys with much worse deals than him on the team.[/QUOTE]
When you aren't a playoff team, things like "getting rid of your best player" comments don't really mean much, especially if that player is not a young up and commer.
The Flames making themselves worse right now by trading someone like J-Bow doesn't really matter, although I agree you don't dump him, you make the move to improve the club long term either through the move directly, or indirectly by having it allow you to set up subsequent moves.
