3 more days til deadline. I don't think the Flames will be busy at all. They might make 2-3 trades including Glencross' deal but nothing major.

Not sure I agree with some that Flames pick up a bad contract like Semin, Ward or Richards. We don't want to get stuck with their contract next season or after. I would rather have the Flames stick to their rebuilding plan. We are on the 2nd year rebuilding and they are doing a great job giving the young guys chances to show. Having those bad contract players will take a spot on our 50 contracts limit. So it means some of the young guys that needs a contract might be let go.

As far as the NHL trade deadline is concerned, I got the feeling that the Oilers will get a decent or good return on D Jeff Petry unless McT is stupid enough to give him away. He is one of the top 10 sought-after player for trade and he is a defenseman. I wouldn't be surprised that the Oilers get a first or second round rounder for him. Personally I think Oilers should only get a 3rd rounder or a 4th rounder but GM tends to overpay during this time especially for a D-men.
