Buffalo and Nashville are the 2 teams most interesting in long term pieces.
Penguins are always open for help, but don't have a lot to offer the Flames that fits into our window.
I expect Buffalo to be the next team to make something happen, Adam's wants to improve now but also doesn't seem to be interested in moving his NHL pieces, so more so prospects/picks.

They should really be trying to move Vladar now... if they can get significant assets in return why not make the deal now? Vladar has been good this season, but we all know he could turn into a pumpkin at any point. He has been untradable at points during his stay in Calgary. I feel that even a second rounder or a good prospect would be a good return for a career backup. Cooley can then be called up, and Wolf gets a few more starts (60-65% of the games). It's just such an obvious move that doesn't hurt the Flames one bit.
