I think Ricrado's arguing that the Leafs are a good young team who can perhaps still improve from within as their young guys get better. Which would mean they shouldn't be desperate to make a trade.
Anyway back to the Flames. I don't want the Flames desperate to make a trade either.
But the whole dealing from a position of strength is a bit of a fallacy. If you have assets that other teams covet, then you are in a good position. It was widely known that guys like Drouin and Hamonic wanted out, and their GM's made out OK since they were players that team coveted. I am not nearly as sure as many of the people posting here as to what the market is like for the Flames defensemen.
