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.

Despite the fact I think your opinion on a guy like Ferland's value is out to lunch, it really doesn't matter what you think the Canes would want for Skinner because he'd be a horrible acquisition for us considering his size, position, concussion situation and salary.
We need to get bigger and harder to play against. A small, non-physical forward with concussion problems is a terrible option for a trade target.
