Ooooo...I just thought of another way you could bait Vancouver fans, inspired by the Gelinas idea. Try to work trades that involve as many former-Flames going back the other way. Turn the Canucks into a bunch of hard-working pluggers, like their "hated" 2004 Flames.
Like these hypothetical deals:
To Vancouver:
Martin Gelinas
Steve Montador
To Florida:
Matt Cooke
3rd Round Pick
Vancouver gets some depth on the blue-line and a proven playoff performer up front.
//
To Vancouver:
Mike Commodore
4th Round Pick
To Carolina:
Brendan Morrison
Rory Fitzpatrick
Vancouver gets a solid defender with experience playing in two consecutive Stanley Cup finals.
