If those two deals were finalized (Ward and Ribeiro) as they are speculated, I wonder whether or not the Flames would have made the playoffs. Would Ward be as good as Hiller was for us?
Does Ribeiro's attitude and off-ice issues poison the locker room chemistry? Pick 7 and 12 would be nice, but Ribeiro would be playing for us for the next 4 years.
I wouldn't mind Ward, but Ribeiro scares the crap out of me. He set himself straight for Nashville, but that's only because Phoenix bought him out and publicly ripped him to shreds.
