You know I too am confused over why some people think that stating the obvious is somehow giving away your position. Feaster saying he wants to add a scorer at RW and a center isn't revealing his hand. Doesn't take a genius to know team needs. Question is at what price. Feaster saying he wants to move up in the draft isn't revealing his hand. Chances are they know the Flames want to move up or will have interest in moving up. Question is what price they are willing to pay. I remember some posters arguing that Mike Gillis saying he's looking to trade Luongo was a stupid thing to say as he's somehow just revealed his hand. Doesn't take a genius that the Canucks want to move Luongo. This isn't poker where people do bluff with week hands. Team needs are there for all to see. The question is what assets are available and what price will get the deal done?
