This is the perfect test for the Flames going into the deadline since all (except Yotes) are playoff calibre teams. Either the Flames flop and become sellers, or they push to keep their WC spot.
I hope they sell at least a couple assets no matter what happens.

Treliving's finest hour was the trade deadline where while still in the race he moved Glencross as a rental for a 2nd and a 3rd.

One of the few times in recent years I really felt like the Flames won a trade outright with a couple other exceptions and not something you see often, but a brilliant move.

If Wideman, Elliott or Versteeg bring back anything noteworthy of value, they should be moved in my opinion.
