Tkachuk-Bennett-Kane --> That would be a hard to play against line especially if Bennett brings his "mean" game back.
He's fast, he's a very good forechecker, and he's a complete a-hole. I'd love to see Kane. I think Bennett needs a better winger to help him generate offense, and Kane could be a great fit.

Gaudreau - Monahan - Ferland
Tkachuk - Backlund - Frolik
Kane - Bennett - Brouwer
Versteeg - Stajan - Chiasson
Hamilton

(Bouma incl. in trade for cap purposes?)

I think that Kane has probably priced himself out of Calgary. Risky to give up top prospect and high picks for a guy with his history

Wills says Vrbata... (which sounds like speculation)

I don't think he realizes Vrbata has bonus overage implications.

Of course, the Phoenix connection. Not surprising.

Ew. He's back with the yotes right? Is this a "with our powers combined, we will be a playoff team!" Kind of thing? Because thatd be bad. How about Duclair? Seems the ARZ GM is a bit of a wild man...

Steinberg says he doesn't see the Flames getting a big name. But he believes they will add a NHL forward by the deadline

I also just don't like it. If people are concerned about Iggy's speed (which is silly), they should watch Vrbata. They play at nearly the same pace, which I'd say is more than comparable to Versteeg/Brouwer.

Evander didn't want to play in Winnipeg, what makes Calgary any better? Although Buffalo probably falls under the same category in terms of "desirable destination".

If traded to Calgary, I truly believe Kane will have a negative influence on a guy like Johnny in terms of off-ice stuff.

He also has playoff related bonuses.

$250k if his team makes the playoffs and $250k for each round of the playoffs his team plays in.

For a team like the Flames who have used their LTIR cap space and will have bonus overages (barring moving significant salary out), that is up to $1.25 million that will be charged to next year's cap.

It's almost like he is signed for next year.

well if Johnny is that susceptible to being influenced, that is worrysome and maybe we need better leadership on the team..

Wills has been on this train all week. I don't get it or see how Vrbata helps up. I think the morning show had it right:

"Do you remember Vrbata against the flames in the playoffs?"
"No"
"Exactly my point"

I don't think Evander Kane is going to convince Johnny to start beating waitresses at Cowboys.

If you're worried about drugs, I don't think Evander Kane is going to convince Johnny to do anymore drugs than he wants too.

They're millionaire local celebs in their early 20's. They've all been exposed to the same situations. Some just handle it better than others.

Benning says he has asked Canucks players with NTCs for list of teams they will accept trade to:
