Why would the flames want another 5-6-7 D-man? We already have Smith, Cundari, Butler and SOB to battle it out for bottom pairing. Also isn't Breen ready to make the jump? Picking up Ballard just means that Cundari and Breen probably will not get a chance.
Flames should treat the bottom pairing D like they are treating the goalie situation. Let the guys that we do have duke it out.
Now if the flames want to get a legit top 4 dman that is another story.
