something from NHL.com that I found interesting:
Quote:
With that in mind, Regier told NHL.com he will listen to anyone who calls about any player on his roster, including goalie Ryan Miller and forwards Jason Pominville and Thomas Vanek.
All three have contracts that will expire after next season and come with salary-cap hits of $5.3 million (Pominville), $6.25 million (Miller) and $7.1 million (Vanek).

I knew they'd be active, but I didn't think they'd even think about shipping out Vanek ... it's about time to see an Austrian player in a Flames uniform
heck, might as well bring in Grabner too
On a serious note, a comment from Rutherford from the same article:
Quote:

"We have a totally different year than we've ever had," Hurricanes general manager Jim Rutherford said. "We're going to have more teams in the race, and so I would suspect that you're going to pay a premium for players because so many teams are looking for them and these races are going to have a lot of teams in them right until the end."

that's exactly why we have to be sellers this year.
