don't think we will make a huge deal = if something came and it worked out - we would have to pay the person and keep him

probably see us going after a rental

warns about how the Flames acquired Jokinen - team was doing very well before the acquisition but didn't win more than 2 games in a row the rest of the season. It changed the chemistry (which isn't Jokinen's fault)

would like to add small depth here and there

if something big came up they would look at it but for the most part just add small pieces

they believe in this group and they believe in each other

If they are moving a 1st rounder they want that piece to be around for at least 2-3 years after the trade
we have given up a lot of picks
we need to replenish as we move along - good teams that is what they do

to move another 1st rounder (won't say they won't do it) it wouldn't be for a rental or a player for just [this year and next]

makes the point that because the team didn't constantly make the playoffs over the past few years they aren't 100% sure what they need to add to get over the hump in the playoffs

unless the deal blows them away and they have to do it, he assumes they will keep the 1st round pick

this group is doing something special - you don't want to make a huge splash
look at when Washington got Shattenkirk - it moved Carlson off the 1st PP and moved everyone around and didn't' really work

doesn't think acquiring a big piece at the deadline gives the player enough time to gel with the rest of the players

does mention that it did seem to work for Colorado adding a big name player at the deadline (assuming he means the Forsberg/Sakic era)
but it makes him nervous because they haven't seen this Flames group in the playoffs enough

also says that the acquisitions in the 04 cup run were complimentary pieces and they did a great job.
they didn't play on the 1st line or take pp minutes
they needed depth then badly - mentions how the Flames had tried to sign Phaneuf to play in the cup finals because they badly needed depth
