I think the injuries on the blueline, this close to the deadline, were a little wake up call and that maybe trading "from a position of depth" on the back end was a bit optimistic. Don't forget technically were down 3 starters if Valimaki had progressed the way he was looking like he would.
Calgary has forward depth as well and of course many toss Bennett and Jankowski's names out there but I wouldn't be shocked if one, just one, of either Dube or Mangiapane are involved. Both are excellent up and coming young players and like Ferland at the time, you have to give something to get something.
Myself I hope they can pick up a bona fide R Shot, RW who can either fly and score or can shot it hard as long as 25 goals a year is in the range.
