Who would we want from Buffalo that may be available?
for the past two months. The Flames sent their scout to Buffalo again on Thursday night, On Wednesday night, the Sabres sent two scouts to Calgary to watch the Flames v. Carolina Canes game.
Tim Murray may have found his veteran left shot D in Calgary's Kris Russel. The 28 year old former Medicine Hat Tiger will be an unrestricted free agent on July 1. It is appearing more likely by the day that Flames GM Brad Treliving is looking to trade his rental players in Russell and 32 year old center/winger Jiri Hudler.
Russell leads the Flames with 160 blocked shots. He skates 22:49 TOI per game. He has landed 52 shots on enemy goalies.
Russell has 3 goals and 11 assists this season. He earns $2.6 million in the final year of his contract.
