And the thing is Englelland isn't a great #6 on most teams - he's an extra body on most teams, and I don't see teams giving up assets to get him.
The Flames are a bad team with bad depth. Their bad players aren't going to be easily moved.

Then I'll be disappointed. That happens from time to time, namely where the Flames are in the standings right now is disappointment. Just because it would be a missed opportunity doesn't mean that it's the end of the world, just that it changes the calculus for the end of June + UFA day and what's to come next season.
This is the first good crack at trying to fix the bad depth players in the organization. Teams do make bad decisions at the deadline all the time so it's possible they could make more deals. They should try to move as many of the depth guys as possible. If they moved 8 or 9 guys that would be acceptable to me as well, although it's extremely unlikely that they'll do that.
