The guy's got 2 goals this year. For $7M.
All the Flames would get is a little Semin on their sweater.

Carolina has been horrible this year and Semin has been hurt and in the doghouse all season. I guess Jordan Staal and his 4 goals is just as bad? Look a little deeper into the player than this one year. He's a solid 20-25 goal scorer who can add as many assists. He could very well be a player that just needs a change of scenery. He's also a guy that could be a zero acquisition cost player that could get you an asset back for taking on his contract. Semin and Carrick for Bollig would be a good deal for the Flames. I would even be open to expanding it and doing Semin, Hainsey and Carrick for Bolig, Reinhart/Baertschi, and Cundari. Get a forward with a big cap hit to help us get to the floor, a defenseman to help now and buy another year for our blueline prospects to mature, and an excellent blueline prospect on the right side we really need. For that we don't give up anything we don't already have in the system and still leave the roster numbers at a wash to pursue college free agents and such.
