Intriguing as it may be hockey wise, no way the Flames would be in on a rental. All the talk since the Peters resignation is heavily on how these guys have become all closer as a result and how that is showing with the results and how then that snowballs further. Plus, just days before the Peters thing came out was Treliving talking about not throwing any player or players into the tarmac, certainly when he was adressing the ridiculous JG rumors.
To rip 3 or 4 of those players out for a rental, right now 3 weeks after it all, goes against all good vibes they they've been setting up because of this. If he was still on the market in 2 months, depending where the Flames were standings and mentally, it could be a bit more possible...but not now.
Also, when is the Christmas movement deadline? Next few days I presume.
