If no ther injuries occur ( doubtful) then flames management is in a tough place. Waiving Setoguchi and sending him down when players get healthy only opens up a spot in the pressbox. That does nothing for the youngsters. They need to play. Flames need to trade regular playing time players in order to make room for youngsters. Opening one spot by trade, which means no player coming back in trade, is tough. Have to think making two trades like that is near impossible at this time of year. More than likely the prospects go back down.
Also even if they could make one trade, to open spot, who could they trade? I don't see Glencross waiving right now. Jones contract makes it near impossible. Would they entertain trading Hudler? I think they should keep him.
