Their top 4 defenseman tonight are:

Ferraro-Emberson
Thrun-Ruuta

Vlasic is injured and even then he’s old.

There was a frame work on a deal done and ready to happen to move markstrom. Multiple sources in the league have said it was near done. Holtz was included in that package.

If that trade the Flames made for the pick that SJ took Vlasic with, turned out to be for anyone other than Kiprusoff, it would be brought up more times in the last 18 years than the Martin St Louis trade.

I believe we maybe closer to having something completed in the coming days. I’ve been informed late in the EST time zone that conroy is telling teams now is the time to start putting your best deals forward.

Full update in the morning.

Flames may start holding guys out starting as early as Saturday.

Let go! Finally. The Con has come back! To the trading table.

It doesn't matter what your name is!

All you strudel licking jabronis it's time to pony up .

It was either a rock themed "let's go" or a lion king "it is time" let's go. The ppls GM demanded The Rock theme.

This lines up also to what Steinberg said yesterday, I think, that he can see the Flames holding players out soon and guessed they may not bring them on the upcoming road trip to Florida if those players haven't been moved yet.

Jesus, how the hell does the team not play until Saturday. I guess that could be a very fortunate thing.

I know it’s commonly brought up that the flames don’t have the high end skill to compete with the top teams in the league (Colorado, Florida, Vegas, etc.) over the next few years… on the flip side, how can the flames stink as well as these bottom level teams to get into those top five picks in the next 2-3 years? Arizona, Chicago, San Jose, Columbus and Anaheim, for example. These teams are powerhouses in the field of terrible. Arizona just lost their 13th consecutive game. How can the flames compete with that? Not to mention in two years, the oilers will likely be back to fielding an AHL team for a decade once again and they are the Jack Nicklaus of lottery picks.

Thanks for all the details! I'm still hopeful something gets done for Markstrom before the deadline, and that it wasn't an overplayed hand. In Connie we trust!

Which one is it?
Stay tuned to find out

I don’t think Craig Conroy is depressed having the three top best players on the trade market heading into the deadline.

More likely he’s full 4-Goal Game Joe Thornton.

Man I’m pretty surprised people are so high on Mercer here. What does he bring that we’re in need of? Do we really need a 3rd year NHL player who is currently <0.5 ppg with an average size?

The dudes play this year and his stat sheet screams sweetener, not centre piece in a Markstrom trade. Our top tier goalie is worth more than some skim milk 3rd line centerman on a team not currently in the playoffs. Mercer and a 1st or get outta here, we don’t need your spare parts NJ.

Mercer is 22, playing behind Hughes and Hischier.

He’s in his third season, he scored 27 last year, and unless he doesn’t play the rest of the season, he’ll have never scored less than 17.

The kid can play.

Mercer fills a specific role in Jersey, and is doing really well at it. The thing is, he would be asked to fill a completely different role in Calgary, which is a big wild card. Personally, I rather prefer Holtz, who could come in at his natural LW/RW, and maybe be a long term RW one-two punch with Coronato.
