I think they're stuck with Bobrovsky...there's really only 1 team that needs a goalie so the goalie market is saturated, you're not going to get any other team to take him.

I think it'll be next to impossible to move both Bobrovsky and Clarkson at this stage so Hartnell is the next highest contract...unless they want to move Foligno, which I'd put in the same boat as Hartnell and I'd take but he's their captain so I can't see them trading him.

I think it's going to be a deal centering around #3 OA + Hartnell/Foligno. They're going to want a pick back in return and I don't think the oil or nucks are going to be good trading partners for them so the Flames pick is likely the highest available pick, I think it'll come down to what else is added. The Flames can add a player like Backlund or Colborne and they have a bunch of other picks too. My biggest concern is if there's a team drafting in the top 10-12 who can add better players than Colborne and/or Backlund but I just don't see it. To me a deal between the jackets and Flames just makes sense for both teams.
