The Flames have a couple of playoff rentals they can deal this year if they're out of it. If Hudler heats up and Jones keeps up this pace and even if Russell improves to a somewhat respectable game they would all get pretty decent returns. I could even see a team giving up a first or second for a guy like Hudler. Well the islanders are in "win now" mode and want something that can help them win a cup this year. Hudler, Jones and even Russell (if they all improve a bit) would help that team right now. I'm not saying a Hudle+Russell would get you Hamonic because I think the Flames would have to add something but I don't think something like that is that far off. A three way deal would probably benefit the Flames even more if the third team is in win now mode too.
I just think that anything is possible and some on here are highly overrating Hamonic (even though he is good) all things considered.
