Hey guys, this is my first post ever. Glad to be a new member of Calgary Puck!
I hope the Flames are actively trying to get Yandle from the Coyotes. Anything to push out Smid, Diaz and Engelland. I cringe whenever they are on the ice, because you know a goal can easily happen.
I think we should either:
A) bring up Wotherspoon and Seiloff (don't know why I confused the players names before). Then send down or trade Engelland or Diaz and Smid.
B) trade for Yandle. Maybe Baertschi, Stajan and Reinhart for Yandle. I think that's fair.
C) actively try for ANY other decent defensemen. Pittsburgh, Chicago, Boston, Toronto, Buffalo and Arizona seem like they would be good trading partners in their current situation.
The D depth is our Achilles heel right now, then RW depth. I just hope in making any trades they don't lose sight of the future. The plan for rebuilding should remain the same. But we do need to do something about our 5/6 defensive pairing.
