With all this talk about Calgary making a competitive pitch, it reminded me of this post from July 30 on HF by a fan who said they had a source.

Dunno. I've heard from a source of mine that Calgary has something tabled with Buffalo, but it's sort of just a waiting game to see if it comes down across the board. I assume Buffalo wants 5 pieces from Calgary right now because there's no home run player (which again, I doubt they get), once the ask moves down a bit, this could be a possibility.

If true this has been one hell of a waiting game. I didn’t think there was anything to this when I read it back then, but if true its just another piece of info that kind of aligns with what Marek and Friedman have said recently about the Flames really trying and having a competitive offer.

Gaudreau - Lindholm - Tkachuk
Mangiapane - Backlund - Coleman
Probably in the minority but I think the Flames could manage with that top 6. Backlund is ideally suited for the 3rd line but I think his style of game meshes nicely with Mangiapane and Coleman and it would be an effective 2nd line for half a season.
I’ve also liked what I’ve seen from Dube at center, and would be okay with him centering the 3rd line. And Sutter did say it would eventually happen this season…
