For all the signing supporters, a few questions- Do you see Engelland as a player a team will want to trade for next summer? Would they even consider picking him off waivers if he ended up on them?
The reason I am asking is because we have 6 (5+brodie RFA) NHL defenseman signed for the next 2 seasons. If we acquire a defenseman to upgrade our defense or simply a prospect makes it to the NHL, which one of those defenseman becomes the odd man out? and how easy would it be to send that person to a different team?
I trust in the Flames management, and I am trying to justify this trade, but I just can't. Personally I am not even sure what makes him such a leader? his play on the ice sure didn't seem to suggest anything out of the ordinary.
