Should they? Absolutely. His play has fallen off a cliff relative to his play last season. Hard to imagine that turning around and. If you can get out of that contract and bring in quality assets in the process you absolutely have to do it. Unfortunately this isn't the NFL and NHL GM's have a hard time separating feelings from business. Yes trading your captain is a difficult move for a variety of reasons but if making the right move was easy every GM would be successful. That said I don't think you move him for a bag of pucks as even in the last year of his contract he's probably going to be serviceable in a 2nd or 3rd pairing role. It would have to be a trade where the Flames are getting quality assets.
