Gauging from Trelivings comments, the Flames won't be dipping too deep into the FA market, they may wait and see if they can get a back up via trade and then explore FA options.

They do need to get to the cap but I think they'll use the proverbial left overs in the FA market to round out what they could not in the trade market. But, who knows what they have up their sleeve? They've been pretty darn good on keeping the lid firmly shut on their plans.

EDIT: As far as who I would like?

Peter Mueller
Vrbata sounds good as a short term vet
Havlat if he'd sign

Vanek if contenders cannot sign him and he takes a Hossa (DET and PITT kind of Hossa deal, not the CHI kind of deal).
