Dreger chimed in on a similar subject this morning on TSN radio:
Quote:
“But the Flames management continues to tell us that, ‘Look, as good as it is, we’re not thinking of doing anything drastic here by way of making a blockbuster that’s going to improve our chances this season.’
“That’s not to say that Brad Treliving and the group aren’t going to consider changes or trades that are going to make this team better for the long term.
“And guys, when I think of teams where Brian Burke is associated, you know, I think of the deals that he has made in the past that have made a difference. Obviously in Toronto it’s Phil Kessel.
“If the Calgary Flames could identify a good, young player that is going to fit into the growth of that team moving forward, then I think that we always have to have Brad Treliving and the Calgary Flames on our radar because of that. But I don’t think that we should expect anything dramatic that is going to bolster this team for this season. They may not need it, based on the way they’re playing.”

I have to wonder who Treliving might class as an expendable asset. Who isn't going to be a part of this franchise going forward, but still has enough value to land a decent asset?
