But the point is frist do Pietr,
leave St Louis with $17.5 for 5 or 6 guys including Stewart, Berglund, and Shattekirk.
Then offer sheet Shattenkirk or Berglund at like ~$5 and there is no way they match. KNowing they still have to sign Stewart at $5+ and whichever one you don't offer sheet at ~$4.5.
Either Shattenkirk or Berglund would address a major area of need for the Flames. Young Top 6 Center or Right Handed Top four 4 dman that has played on the PK.

Ok, I see what you mean. It just comes down to if you think either is worth our first + a third, when it's likely neither of those guys propels us to better than than an 8-10 pick. I don't think either do that, especially considering we'll be seeing teams like Anaheim, Vancouver, LA 6 times each plus a more mature Edmonton team, and a wildcard in Colorado who with better coaching could be a big threat.
