They are on the clock. One year to expansion and they apparently really like Pickard but you can only protect one goalie (unless they change that). They will be lucky to get a 2nd and a B prospect IMO. I would offer 2nd+Klimchuk but no higher. If they aren't interested, they can always try to trade him to Carolina or Toronto, who will be sifting through offers just like the Flames. I think people are really underestimating the effect looming expansion+buyer's market will have on the 10+ teams trying to unload a goalie.
