But... But.. But...
Crushing = Truculence = Best
All kidding a side, I think Calgary regardless of how Dougie plays needs to explore any trade option should people be inquiring.
I think he's our best asset in terms of potential acquisition of a top 6 RW + recoup of a first round pick. If we have to make that trade then we do it.
Both Rasmus and Juuso are close to ready, if we can net an impact scoring RW (Nylander from Toronto for example) I think you have to pull the trigger.
