Sadly i don't think there is a big trade available durring the season that could turn this ship around. Players are going to have to figure it out themselves. Our 2 best trading chips for help upfront are both hurt. I would have to think teams would be wary of trading for Brodie considering his injury status. Flames also can't fire the coach and have this core go onto their 4th coach in a short time span. IMO if they have to go to a 4th coach for this core , then its not the coaching it's the core.
Maybe they make a small trade now but i doubt the player coming back will ignite the team that much. Flames will probably be sellers at the deadline. Sell off all Fa's if you can . See what the market is for Backs, Monny, Johnny. More than likely flames will have to wait till summer to get full value on Monny or Johnny. They will also have to decide if its a rebuild or a re-tool they are trying to do. If a re-tool, they most certainly have to wait till summer on those 2 . Teams at deadline are not going to want to subtract a key player off their roster just to get another key player.
I hope the players can figure it out themseves , but i got a feeling this is going to be a long season.
