Still wondering if it would be at all possible to "buy" Ryan Ellis from the Preds.
Rent them Glencross, take the Stalberg contract off their hands ($7,000,000+ over this season and the next two) and send them Diaz so they still have some depth.
Left D - Josi, Ekholm, Bartley, Volchenkov
Right D - Weber, Jones, Franson, Diaz
I'm sure a budget team like that really doesn't like having to pay Stalberg that much money to play in Milwaukee.
Ellis would be an excellent pick up.....blooming top 4 D man, 24 years old, right hand shot, highly mobile, signed for 4 more season @ $2.5 million per. He'd fit the Flames system perfectly.
Would help the team push for the playoffs this season, but at the same time he'd be a nice piece for the future too.
