... no need to get hot under the collar like that.
What the Flames need to do is avoid kneejerk trades and use the players they have to work their way out of this funk. Getting Brodie back will help and so will the fact that the goaltending situation is no longer a carousel. Last year Hudler scored 31 goals as did Monahan. Gaudreau scored 24. Bouma and his 16 goals from last year are currently missing from the lineup. Bennett has the potential to become a truly great player. The team is in a slump and quite frankly is still rebuilding. Last year's playoff run was great and everything but let's face it the Flames squeaked in with loads of 3rd period comebacks and played a Canucks team that was dealing with key injuries and wasn't an elite team to begin with. I'm not in favor of making a risky deal just to bring Stamkos here as a desperate win-now move. Remember when Burke traded the picks that became Seguin and Hamilton in exchange for Kessel?
