Pure speculation but interesting to see rumors out of Buf that may lend some credence to my thought.
[Edit] To be clear, not sure I like the idea or not, think I'd rather Lindholm or Monahan, but not totally against it either.

It makes sense. The Flames are weak in d prospects. If they have their eye on a Mueller, Morin, or Hagg, and they don't think they'll drop to 22, the win would be getting that 16th. Maybe they wait to see who Carolina takes, and if it's their guy (out of Monahan/Lindholm), that's when they pull the trigger to swap with the Sabres.
