This isn't the only activity around the Flames. Conroy is not waiting to see if this turns around, the injection of youth has been a positive and they want to continue. It's believe that want to bring up Poirier as well. However the left D spots are kind of plugged right now with De Simone playing well it could be a showcase.
The Markstrom thing, I have to nail down - he's day to day. But I've herd it could be something more. Trade, I think is doubtful but his value is there for contending teams if the flames are willing to consume some of that cap hit. One scource did say he may have tweaked his hip/groin area last game against Nashville and they could just be resting him given the run and gun of these 3 teams.
This wont be a burn it to the ground rebuild.
