You can pretty much throw 95% of Treliving/Toronto rumors straight into the recycle bin.
From what I've been told what you see now is what Calgary is going to start with baring any significant injuries.
Nothing in the pipeline, nothing cooking as we speak.
Craig fully expects some young guys to make it out of camp.

This doesn't surprise me.
As much as moving Kadri, Coleman, or Andersson might make sense longer term... the owner still wants some attempt of at least being "competitive" in the short term as this isn't a Chicago or San Jose last year level of rebuild.
Right now they have a pretty good balance of saving money ($20M of cap room) and the level of competitiveness that I think the owner wants.
Now if they are in the bottom 10 of the league on January 1st then I think that changes and more things open up and you see more veterans moved potentially.
UFAs: Kuzmenko, Mantha, Rooney, Duehr, Hanley, Vladar
Term: Kadri, Coleman, Andersson
Especially if some teams that are desperate to make a leap, and who have cap room, start off strong. If any of Buffalo, Utah, Columbus, Detroit etc get off to a good start and are in a playoff position by Jan 1 then I could see them looking at one of our vets with term.
The only thing that does surprise me a little bit is that Jakob Pelletier doesn't have a contract signed yet.
