I'm willing to bet that if there's a chance to get Uber-do BT is exploring it to the fullest extent. I think he'd be a great top 6 for us now and probably a top 3 moving forward. I'd want to explore what they'd want the Flames to give up for him in a trade before an offer sheet. I also wonder what he's asking for in terms of a contract. BT made it sound like trades to make cap space are available so I don't think that's really a problem he's worried about. I think he's waiting to see how camp goes and if any prospects prove they deserve a shot on the team first.
I'll go out on a limb here and say that if a prospect doesn't jump into the top 6 then BT will make a move to get either Uber-do or Nelson.
