This is the first year in a while where I feel Calgary might have a shot at getting one of the best free agents on the market. All three of the guys being discussed definitely could make an impact and command starting spots on the roster. A case could be made for each one of TH, AP, and JM to come here as other people have pointed out, and if that is the case you could fit all three of them while moving some guys out, you do it.
The Flames need change. The fans want change. If it doesn't work out, that sucks, but at least they went for it. I would place my faith back into the Flames management if they just had the balls to make some groundbreaking moves.
However, the last time a team got the top two free agents on the market it was the ludicrous contracts of Parise and Suter. Of course Minnesota was not in a power position in the league at that time, so I think that's why they had to go balls to the wall signing those two guys. Calgary is a team that is just on the edge of being contenders year after year, but they are missing that spark that makes the engine fire at a consistent rate.
