They did, but it was a weird deal all around. Not only the timing, but the fact that it was a genuine three-way deal (not a third party taking out the garbage to enable a trade between two other teams). And the fact that the Predators gave up a boatload of assets for Kyle Turris, who never really did much for them.
I don't see a GM at the moment who's willing to give up that many futures in a deal involving any of Kadri, Andersson, or Coleman. I won't say never, but generally speaking, this is not the time of year to be forcing a deal to happen.
I'm with those who expect a trade of some sort between U.S. Thanksgiving and Christmas. Call it the Flames' Black Friday sale.
