Do the Flames really need Kipper? Well need him or not, he's going to be gone soon. Look at it this way; in the next couple of years do you think a team that has consistantly come in 9th place can turn things around and win the cup? If the answer is no, than it doesn't matter if we have Kipper or not. Having Kipper and finishing in 9th place is a lot worse than trading him away, getting help for the future, finishing in a lower spot and getting a better draft pick.

Either way, he won't be around forever so people have to start thinking about the big picture.
