This. The key is 'before' the expansion draft which doesn't necessarily mean at the trade deadline. Probably more likely between seasons end and the expansion draft. I would like to see the Flames take advantage and pick up at least a goalie or a forward worth protecting.

Take it from a guy that watches a ton of Coyote games, Doan should have retired last year. He is a shadow of his former self, now. ....Barely a 4th liner.

Would he happen to be a young defenseman that you could convince to come to Calgary? LOL

Man, it's gotta suck for Derek Grant. Preds put him on waivers than the sabres claimed him again.

Well, he did sign with the Sabres last summer, so he shouldn't be too disappointed.

Grant has also now been reassigned to the Sabres AHL affiliate. Can't see him having much of an NHL future anymore. He's become another one of those guys who's good for the AHL but mostly out of his depth at the next level.

That said, the Sabres are awful so he might get another cup of coffee with them this year.

What about going after Chara? 4 million dollar cap hit going into next year.

Probably wants to retire a Bruin though.

Chara can barely even get the puck out of his own zone anymore and gives the puck away like a baby. He's practically done. No thanks.

Still would like the Flames to take a look at Lazar. We need some RW depth even if he's a project something like Shinkaruk seems like pretty much a wash when it comes to prospect potential.

Apparently this guy is an Alberta scout for the Surrey Eagles:

I'm Hearing the #Oilers & #TBLighting are working on a deal. Sounds like Brandon Davidson for Brain Boyle could be the moving parts... #NHL

Radim Vrbata might be a worthwhile pickup.

Woke up this morning in a panic as I was sure before I fell asleep I saw the top thread was "Avs trade Duchene to Canucks for Virtanen, Burrows, Biega and 2nd."

Thank god that wasn't true.

lol. I guess Brain Boyle could be reasonable, since I don't believe Brandon Davidson is worth Brian Boyle.
