Hawks, Leafs, Panthers, Flyers, Caps, maybe even Yotes could all have interest in Kipper if made available.

People forget his .921 save percentage last year behind a talent-lacking roster...

Other clubs aren't going to care that terribly much of this season if the Flames stink it up enough to the point of succumbing to trading their #1. They'll likely chalk it up more to the team than to him.

He'd likely either bring back a higher end prospect and a 2nd, or a 1st and a middle echelon prospect (AT the trade deadline, that is).

Cammy, you might get something decent for in a trade with a Vancouver, per say, as they're always looking to stock up on 2nd line guys. Maybe you'd grab a 2nd + prospect.

Iginla and Jbo are where you can bank on picking up more 1sts for this years' draft.

BUT I'd much rather prefer that our current team just goes out and starts kicking ass. Win their 3 games in hand, and they're right back up near the top. Season's still in the baby stages, people. It's fun to speculate, but we need to stop going nuclear here. Have some damn faith in our team.
