I think we are in much of the same situation as we were coming into this summer. We all know that management wont allow Huberdeau and Weeger as well as anyone else contributing to winning be allowed to go at the deadline if we are in the playoffs or *most likely* in the hunt for the division again. That leaves us with the very likely potential that we only got a prospect and 1st for an extended Tkachuk which doesn't look good by any metric.
If these guys are looking to test the market they will need to be flipped before the season starts, I feel the Flames summer is far from over.
For all the harping on how bad the flames won the trade and that Zito was "drunk" lets see how it all shakes down. Maybe Zito and FLA Management had the balls to call a spade a spade and cut loose while they still had value in doing so.
