Treliving on Fan960

[Flames Draft Watcher]

-they've been busy. lots of phone calls. nothing imminent
-calls coming in and going out
-draft talk, trade talk, and free agent courting talk
-doesn't know if it's realistic to trade up/down
-wouldn't be surprised if something or nothing happened
-hesitant to name any untouchables, said they're open to anything if it made sense
-gotta be careful on july 1st, you can do more harm than good. buyouts are often guys that were signed on July 1st
-lots of scenarios. could change as certain players are picked. they are prepared for different scenarios
-lots of teams are open to doing things. lots of players not wanting to move. teams looking to move big contract players that you have to be careful in acquiring. free agency period changes things because you may find a player is interested in coming your way and thus you may be hesitant to make a trade
-they've mapped out every sequence and scenario. Like all the scenarios that involve them staying at #4
-if there's a scenario that makes sense they could use 2nds/3rds to get another 1st rounder. takes two to tango
-Brad's got more than one guy that he really likes. Thinks they'll get one. Would love to get two. There's a group of players they think will be available in the second round too. Not sure they'd trade 3-4 assets to get another top 10 pick, have to see
-doesn't think the big deals are necessarily holding the trade market up but thinks some other things could happen after some of big names move
-no updates on Cammalleri

sounds good to me.

Bye bye Cammy

[EVERLAST]

Is this allot different than them letting Butler walk??

Could really have cared less to have Butler back.

Cammy on the other hand....I wish he was willing to sign to stay but its obvious he really doesn't want to be here and after the stunt he pulled in Montreal I wonder how he is now perceived around the league.

A friend of mine seen Cammy in Chicago this past weekend. I know FA hasn't opened up yet, but I wonder what he'd be in town for?

Vacation?

So... to sum up, something might happen or it might not...

If I was Cam, and I am obviously not, I would want to wait and see who courted and for how much. Just for curious. Might even prefer to stay, but nice to know where you stand in the league.

.... ha who am I kidding? He is likely gone. I hope he gets a cup.

Yeah, kinda needs to pull the splinters out of his arse, but to be expected I suppose.

While correct... he said enough to at the same time not say anything. Slight insight into their thought process but not showing any cards, fine with that.

Agreed. I'm interested in knowing how the new GM thinks about these questions. Always good to get it straight from the horse's mouth.
