I think trading Hamonic for anything right now is prudent. Yes he is hurt, but I am sure there is a team that will take him on if the price is right (well, hopefully anyway). The reason I want this done is how terrible he looked against the Avs last playoffs, and especially because I don't want Treliving to re-sign him, especially for a significant raise with term. I see him as a 3rd pairing player - or at least a player that will be on the third pairing within the next couple of seasons.

I really want Brodie re-signed. Badly. However, if his intention is in fact to move to a warmer climate (something I can respect - family always comes first), then I would move him this deadline for someone else. I wouldn't sell on him unless necessary, but Treliving just has to get something for him.

The only thing I really hope for is no rentals at all - not even for 6th and 7th round picks. I especially don't want that first to be traded for anything - well, unless another team wants to be absolutely stupid with the return on the 1st.

Tough time. If the Flames were 4 or 5 points back from the last wildcard spot, I would be hoping that they sell. I think a lot of what ails this team is coaching, and thus I don't necessarily prescribe to the notion that this team needs to be 'blown up', but there are definite holes on this roster, and even if there wasn't, a team should always look to upgrade whenever possible.

I am just really curious what happens tomorrow, and what ends up happening through the off-season. No idea if Treliving is going to get a new coach or not, or if (or how much) he is going to change the core up. Fascinating times ahead.

Edit: People state that the Pacific is wide-open this year, but I also think that this Flames team is very 'wide open' as well. I am not confident that they would enter the playoffs and actually win a round against anyone they match up against, but I also think they could beat any team in the playoffs at the same time if they get hot. They are so inconsistent. The worst case for me is being buyers, entering the playoffs and matching up against another Pacific team, and then losing. I am not so sure that wouldn't happen... that's just how inconsistent this team seems to be on any given night.
