Any chance you know what teams they were scouting?

Okay. The Fw that was going to be aproblem is out of the way. Hudler should get something comparable. Except maybe the pick would be a 2nd rounder.

Still have Boedker out there too. He may be valued higher than Hudler by teams.

[ScorchyScorch]

Hudler a 2nd + good prospect
Russell a late 1st because of demand

I'm most curious about whether they find a way to get Pitts to move on Murray or if they address goaltending through another team.

I think the 1st is still in play. We just won't get a Dano level prospect. Maybe something between Smith and Gilmour. Obviously salary retention is key.

[Misterpants]

Flames would retain salary all day long.

Or maybe they are scouting the Islanders...

Things get interesting if Eriksson signs w/Boston. Still gap on term. Believe Bruins are willing to go four years, not sure that does it.

Have to think Kings may up efforts on Eriksson and Hudler (also in for Russell)

[MarkGio]

If Staal and Eriksson are out of the forward mix, only Hudler, Boedker and maybe Vrbrata are the first tier forwards on the market.

With Ladd off market,do GMs start looking at Flames' Kris Russell?Told by someone inside organization there's a 50-50 chance of resigning.

[dammage79]

God, please do not re-sign Russell.

[Moneyhands23]

Man this trade adds some talent to wpg. Hope they can get over the hump soon

[sureLoss]

Flames announce Russell won't play tonight due to injury.

Yes. Winnipeg needs more prospects and draft picks so they contend next year. Until they can't afford their next star and trade for more picks and prospects. And the year after that. And the year after that.

Trading vets that actually want to stay in Winnipeg and replacing them with kids is a sure fire way to win championships. Just ask the oilers.

[Misterpants]

Gotta be something cooking. If I'm Russell, and I want to re-sign in Calgary, I'd ask for a trade and make the team that much better for the future.
