EDIT: Bonus points for plucking a C off of the UFA list that EDM can not sign to help their terrible C depth.

Bennett- done
Backlund- done for a couple weeks
Colborne- could be back tomorrow, could be back next week
Stajan- Aye Caramba 6 weeks

Thank the gods Granlund was sitting right there waiting for the call.

If the Flames were gunning for the post season and in the same scenario, then maybe you take a shot at a band-aid solution. The team simply can't pull a Feaster and start claiming/signing/trading for terrible reclamation projects or long shot NHLers to plug a hole. This is why Treliving says the road to the Flames goes through Adirondack. The team is rebuilding so take it as a chance to see what some of the other young guys can do for a short period of time.
