Sure if you offer Russell, Bouma and Backs it gets it done, but we know the Flames wouldn't do that.
I just don't see matching up with Canes needs and wants without offering a 1st +.
Would they do Backlund + ? I don't think so. I think Flames fans vastly overate Backlund's value. However, if you could set up a package of Backlund + B level spect or 2nd rounder's' etc I would jump on it.
Skinner is only 23. Sure he has had concussions but tons of players have. Is he really 1 hit away from being done. Is Crosby? That's a risk for any player who has had a concussion.

This is all your subjective opinion, which is fine. But to claim that it's ridiculous to think the Flames could trade for Skinner because they don't have any players of value is far more ridiculous.
