The comments in that recent interview about the Flames trade prospects really felt great to read, that they have a long term focus even if the team is doing well this year.
Sutter and co made so many sacrifices of futures that really in the big picture hurt the team more than they helped. It was painful to watch trades like Kotalik, Stuart, etc when you knew we were losing the trade to grab an extra goal or win in the current season.
I don't think Glencross will waive anyway so the one tough call this year is Ramo.
Goaltending has been a problem across the league - he would bring a decent asset and Ortio could be a capable backup already IMO.
If he brings a 2nd rounder and will walk anyway rather than stay behind Hiller - he will be the toughest call.
