Still rumours in most of these trades but it’s really surprising how many teams are suddenly willing to move what many would have considered untouchable prospects/young players in these trades. If all the rumours come to fruition… Ritchie, Clarke, Stankoven, Pterka, and Knight will all have been traded by today. That’s pretty crazy. The flames were the biggest sellers last year and no one was offering prospects/young players of that calibre.
It is too bad in some ways, the flames were not sellers in a rare market where teams are selling 1st round picks in 2026 plus their top prospects/young players. I understand the decision to go for a playoff spot given where the flames are at in the standings… it’s more saying this would have been a convenient year to be in a position to draft high and trade pieces for big returns.
