One thing I want the Flames to balance this trade deadline is 'win now' vs 'expansion draft'.
I think the Flames can make some noise in the playoffs. I don't think they are seasoned enough to win the cup though - who knows. Maybe if they hit a home run on someone it could very well happen. I just hope that if Treliving makes any moves it is with a long-term outlook on the team (no rentals obviously) and it better be a cheap enough player that you don't mind losing when the expansion draft comes around. Flames are going to be one of the more exposed teams when it happens, if the draft rules carry-over from this past draft.
