Can't really trade Brodie with Hamonic injured either, sends a message to the team (and arguably more importantly, Treliving's bosses) that the team isn't expected to make the playoffs.
I wanted a top 6 forward but who? The only deal I saw made in the last few days that I would have liked the Flames to make was Kovalchuk. Who even knows, we might have even had a better offer there but Bergevin let the player choose his destination.
Getting another mid round pick back for a guy like Czarnik would have been really nice but who knows what kind of interest there is in that

They could have traded away Brodie while also acquiring Gustafsson/Forbert. It wouldn't send that message.
Injuries should never have any impact on anything unless you're a bona fide contender, or you have so many injuries that you know you can't contend.
Couldn't disagree more on the Kovalchuk front.
