Glad we probably get to see a call up or two from Stockton after trading Jones. Would also like to try and create chemistry with gaudreau-Monahan-ferland. He's looked good on that top line when given the chance but it only ever lasts for 2-3 games for some reason.

Will not miss that Rascal-looking face and the $4 million cap hit. Glad we got something for him.

...a 6th? I thought he could have got a low 4th at least.

Backstrom has played a whopping 40 games in the past 2 and a half or so seasons (0 this year) and has 10 wins over that time. Jones has put up a reasonable 15 points so far this season on a bad team. 30 points last season.

Oh well.

Hoping we actually call up a prospect and not waste a call up on Raymond.

Is this the birth of a new 3 headed goalie monster? I don't imagine our current goaltending tandem can handle such an extreme situation, someone has to go on waivers immediately now right?

Backstrom hasn't played since Jan 2015. Doubt he dresses for the Flames.

Almost 88,000 clicks in the waiting thread and this is it... I seriously need to re-think my hockey addiction...

Funny getting Backstrom cause he and kipper were two of the best in the west in their prime. I imagine kipper and him are close in age.

Backstrom hasn't played all year and is on LTIR is he not? Shouldn't be a problem.

Looks like we did them a favour. Should have been a better return. At least Jones can play.

Flames better stick with Ortio, maybe give Backstrom 2/3 games.

Well, technically 4 depending on Ramo's recovery status. But I think it's pretty much useless to bring in Backstrom unless Hartley really has it out for Ortio

Calgary's done well the last few years in the 6th round with guys like Mangiapane and Ollas Mattson being recent selections. If they can get someone of a similar calibre to those guys it would be great for us.

Oh well.
Pirri got a 6th rounder and has 33 goals in his last 101 games (0.33 GPG).
David Jones has 23 goals in his last 126 games (0.18 GPG).

A 6th is pretty good considering.

The Wild barely need to show up at this year's draft. Only two picks before the 7th round and four total.
