I'd like to see the Flames trade for Pickard to be the back up next year behind (hopefully) Bishop as the starter.
Might be a chance to get him dirt cheap, given the market and the fact that he had a rough season starting 50+ games for one of the worst teams of the modern era.
If Vegas takes him, which is possible because Colorado does not have much to pick from, and they have an abundance of goalies, Tre might be able to get a good deal on him.
He'd probably bounce back with a lesser work load, behind a much better team, and then next off season maybe he can be flipped for a better return. That way you leave Gillies in Stockton to start the majority of the games.
