A) We get assets for the trades
B) They fit with the future better then the pending UFAs

Not to pick on you specifically, but I simply dont understand the desire of so many to get rid of Stempniak.
yeah he isnt a young guy anymore, but he isnt "old" either. The Flames are re-building true...but you still need solid character guys who have experience in what it takes to play in the NHL. He is a perfect example of this in that he was a bit of a longshot to even make the show. Not only did he make it, he is a contributor in all phases of the game. He is on a very reasonable contract and seems like a quiet leader on a team with a need for that.
Just my 2 cents.
