Vegas had cap problems, so they gave away Fleury, and unloaded Schmidt. Tampa had cap problems, so they gave away Johnson and let Coleman walk for nothing to protect their core pieces.

The Flames aren't going to offload young, key pieces in order to keep players like Zadorov, Lucic, Monahan or Backlund.

this is correct and i love Mony and don't want him traded...but these 3 would be traded before Bread
