When are you guys going to give up on this Seravelli hate and just acknowledge he has some pretty good connections and insights into what is happening. He pretty much called the returns for the Flames at the deadline and had some pretty good specifics. You may not like that he's telling you, but it appears to be accurate. It is kind of like when he was last on Barnburner and they were talking about buildings. Seravelli was being straight up about the Saddledome and made the mistake of using Edmonton's advantage as a direct comparison. The three stooges just heard only what they wanted to hear rather than take in that the Saddledome is the worst building in the league and players don't want to be around that space. Same thing goes on here and accepting what is circulating within the league. The guy obviously has connections in teams, with agencies, and with players.

It's one thing to know about current trade talks, but it's a whole other thing to know a team's offseason plan well ahead of the offseason.

I doubt there is any secret the Flames are going to be players in free agency. Look at the blueline. They need two or three NHL caliber defensemen back there, and a couple that can play in the top pairs. I seriously doubt that any other team, agent, player, or analyst looks at the Calgary Flames and doesn't recognize the need. And considering that Frank just had a lengthy sit down with Conroy I would think that came right from the horse's mouth.
