I wonder if Jean Gabriel Pageau would waive his NTC to come to the Flames? I feel like he would a really good depth addition. This would be a bit similar to the Farabee acquisition as the Flames would be taking a player making $5M off the books of another team for next season. He's got one more year after this season at $5M, which is a lot for a third line C so I wouldn't expect it to take very much to acquire him. He has 10 goals and 16 assists in 50 games and is 58.7% as a right handed face off ace.
He's reputed to be a good penalty killer and at 32 years old he should still have a decent amount of gas in the tank. I really like the look of the Flames depth if he were to be added.
