Also Mangiapane has 10 points, Backlund with 12 points in 11 games in February. That is top 6 numbers. Giving up more quality assets to bring in a player that in all likelihood wouldn’t be much of an improvement doesn’t seem like a good idea at this juncture.

I think you can also safety assume that either you were giving away draft picks or Dube / Mangiapane / young D to acquire anyone today.
Why would the Flames do that?
The emergence of Mangipane has changed things a lot.
