I think a someone Feaster could target is Teddy Purcell. 28 years old 6 foot 3 right winger. He's gritty but also produces. He's been improving over the last three years.
He has 51 to 65 and if last year had been a full year he could have gotten 70+ points.
At 4,500,000 for the next three years he could come cheap for the Flames
Tampa Bay trades:
Teddy Purcell $4,500,000 3-years
2013 1st (3rd)
Calgary trades:
2013 1st (6th)
2013 1st (28th)
Chris Butler 2013 RFA
Theres no way the lightning can sign 5 guys on $2,407,251 so Calgary takes on Purcell to free up Tampa Bay. They get Butler to have a top 6 defensman in thier lineup instead of AHL call-ups. We move up in the draft and they get two picks in the 1st round.
