First off, if Moore can be traded for a 2nd rounder and Regehr can be traded for 2 then Stempniak and Stajan should each be able to get one in return (if not more). 2nd round picks for top 9 forwards is really not a huge payment.
Second, the Flames do not *need* an extra 1st rounder. As long as we keep ours and it lands in the top 3 we will be laughing. If we end up with another one on top of that it would really just be a bonus for the rebuild.
Nice to have, not required to have.

The only thing surprising about Gio being named Captain, was that they did not make him wear the new 3rd uniform when accepting the honour.

You could be right. Cammi could have just been saying the right things because that is what a professional should say. However, if getting married gets him into the mindset of nesting, then I wouldn't be surprised if he just decides to stay in Calgary (likely for more money than he could get signing with a contender). He could try to sign a 5 year deal with a NMC and hope that in 3 years he is on a contending team that he helped to build.
