He also can't really justify selling either, not when the his team is literally 2 points out 1st place in the division.....a very weak division with no clear favorite. I don't think this team has a chance in hell of winning the cup this year, but if they make top 3 in the division they could easily make it to round 3 before getting curb stomped given the teams they would face in round 1 and 2. It's easy for us die hard fans to sit here and say sell sell sell on a message board in this situation. Its a whole other thing to do it as the GM when you have season ticket holders, owners and the players themselves to answer to.
So unless a hockey trade that makes sense surfaces, it will very likely be a quiet deadline for Flames fans.

Our noise will be made during the draft/offseason, the draft in particular.
People are going to hate that we have our hands tied again, but it is just bad luck. Hamonic should have been traded a lot earlier, but we are also in a division where winning a game puts you on top of the division and then losing a game puts you in WC1/WC2. It's tough for the Pacific teams to decide whether or not to make any moves. For Calgary, our moves will need to be made in June of 2020.
