If the Flames could get something tangible for him, they would trade him in a second.
I assume they cannot.
He has value to the Wranglers and the Flames trying to establish a fan base for them here is important.
He may have the best stats in the AHL, but he is nowhere close to being the best prospect in the AHL. He's basically on no team's radar as a viable NHL player.
He will leave as a UFA when the season is over, and go to a team that likely wants him for the same reason that Calgary wants him; to fill out its AHL roster.
Comparing him to Bedard is just silly. There are pro scouts who don't see him as a viable NHL player, otherwise Calgary would presumably bring him up. I see no downside in bringing him up, but I'm not a pro scout. I amy nit like it, but I have to respect the process.
I do know that if Sutter starts listening to the people in the stands, he'll shortly be sitting with them in the stands. Maybe he can dance with his son? That is sometimes the best entertainment at the game these days.
