D are sought after I agree but teams don't just want ANY d-man.

Why haven't the Flames traded him for Jaroslav Halak, or David Clarkson?
He wasn't tradable last year because he still had a year of term left on his contract...not to mention the suspension stuff.
When it comes to expiring contracts, teams are less likely to shy away from adding a guy to bolster depth so long as they can make it work with their cap. Teams want to add to their roster, but not hand grenade it for future years.
