I hope Burke lays the ground work to develop a deal with Buffalo to select Ekblad if Florida doesn't take him (assuming we don't make a deal with Florida). I don't want to trade up for much. I think the scouting staff has made big strides the past 4-5 years and the Flames' 2nds are worth more than they were pre-2009.

It's definitely curious, that has been the mantra the whole time. Maybe there is something in the George McPhee rumours, as he'd be free to take the job as it appears his contract won't be renewed and will expire.
