It looks like we're only going to have the one first rounder next year, so they better make it worthwhile.
What about Philly, they're crazy

$1.9M from the Cap,
12 forwards,
8 Dmen,
1 RFA Dman.
Very weak on LW, Umberger, Rinaldo, Rafll, Rosehill

If they Can't move Vinny, I don't see them wanting to move one of their other 3 centers, so their other real position of strength is D. I think Schenn is probably their least desirable asset, so could I see

L. Schenn + 1st for Glencross + mid round pick

Hudler could probably grab as much as 2 x 2nds at the Deadline with a year remaining.

A good season or some retained salary could probably even see Wideman go for as much as a 2nd.

If the Flames decided to go all in on this draft, I could see then exiting the season with 1 in the top 5 another in the top 25, and 3-4 more still in the top 60. there would be allot of room to work with those kinds of picks.
