I said as much yesterday that some teams have a great opportunity this season to stock up on talent and the Flames have more potential of any team at the deadline to pick up multiple draft picks and prospects. Iginla, Stempniak, Bouwmeester, Kipper, etc may all be in demand at the time of year where GM's feeling they are close to winning the cup will pay the prices they normally would consider highway robbery the rest of the year. If the Flames play their cards right at the deadline this season may be looked at in history for Flames fans as a turning point to something better. If we see a repeat of last year's deadling it could also be looked back at as dark times for the franchise. I am really hopeful that common sense prevails at Flames headquarters but given recent history I am fearing the worst.
