The name I heard brought up in different rumors is Craig Smith (Friedman mentioned him as a target of a different team today). C/RW that just signed a $4M plus contract and is having a down season.
With Johansen added to center ice I could see them looking at moving Smith to try and balance the budget that Nashville operates on.
Not sure they Flames have interest though - similar type of player/value as Backlund I would say.
