I think the Flames are best served to trade off most of their pending UFA's.
Jackman - not sure anyone would offer a late pick for him but you never know when teams want to address toughness at the deadline
Cammy - will likely fetch us the biggest return and we nee o open up #13 for Johnny Hockey
Stempniak - great guy but he is north of 30 and very streaky. I think he will have strong value at the deadline and there is always a chance to bring him back next summer if they really want but I think we should be looking at brigning in more young players next year
Stajan - Need to make room for more young centers in the lineup. Monahan, Colborne, Backlund, Knight could finish the year as our center core and I would be happy
Butler - if we can get anything for him that would be nice
MacDonald - move him if you can at the deadline and bring Berra up
I would keep Russell and Galliardi for sure as well as Hudler, Wideman, Jones, Glencross, Giordano, SOB and other vets who I may have missed that still have contracts beyond the season.
The Flames armed with several picks from these trades will allow them to make some moves in the offseason to get some new vets in the room preferabbly in the 23-28 age range.
