[Rumour] UPD: Dreger: Flames hoping to get two 2nds for Russell . Stars have shown interest

[Vinny01]

If the Flames take Lethonen's contract I wonder if they can get a bigger return out of Dallas?

[MarkGio]

I wonder if Washington wants Wideman now that they have so much cap space

As much as we love draft picks, outside of them being used as currency, they're fairly useless.

were we a contender last year? How many teams are real contenders?

Mmmm. They can add Russell or Hamhuis' contract. But I don't think they can add Widemans with Carlson eventually coming back. GF has them at 8.1 in cap.

Nobody wants Wideman.

News Update

Darren Dreger @DarrenDreger
Stars remain dialed in on Russell and Hamhuis. Highly unlikely, but is it possible to land both? Too early to rule anything out.

I don't know, maybe they should start trading to find out

[Caged Great]

If the asking price is decent, hopefully they can ship Wideman out as well.

If the offer price has a pulse or the potential to pick someone with a pulse, hopefully they can ship Wideman out as well.

I'd be happy to get future considerations for Wideman.

[Vinny01]

Dalla easily has the assets to get both Dmen. Canucks need D prospects where the Flames need forwards.

No we weren't. So comparing our situation last year to Dallas' this year is useless.

[DoubleK]

Why are there two threads? Which one to follow.....

[The Fonz]

We need to keep Wideman for another year. His value could not possibly be any lower at that time than it is now.

Pittsburgh made a trade for Justin Schultz; arguably the worst defenseman in the entire world.

Obviously we need to trade him, but every time he speaks it reminds me of how quality of a person he truly is.

Which is worth something, which is why he wears an A, which is why plenty of teams want him. None of which Corsi tells you about.

Peter Loubardias? Is that you?

Nope, and if you look through my posts I've never been a big Russell fan, never have been and I'm still not. Just overly annoyed at all the corsi losers parroting the same stuff over and over again in their echo chamber.
