I think it could cost close to 2 1sts to get Wright though.
Vladar is worth maybe a 3rd - he's a pending UFA goalie in a market that isn't great for people moving goalies right now. Seravelli was on 960 yesterday and said even a 3rd might be tough at this point as the goalie market dried up a bit.
I love Pelletier but he's a guy who cleared waivers earlier this year, he's likely not worth much more than a 3rd in a trade and his value isn't close to a 1st anymore.
Wright is a 21 year old former 4th overall pick that has played at a 20 goal, 41 point pace during his last season and a bit of NHL games.
Maybe it's a 2nd instead of the 1st but I do think another asset would be needed on the Flames side and I think it would have to be the 1st.
