Honestly, I'm fine with any/all the veterans moving on if the price is right.

Take some meh cap hits back through trades and maximize the assets you get.

No reason to hold onto anyone at this point. If you're going to rebuild, do it right and tear it down. Keep Lomberg and in the offseason sign some character guys to way too high $ for their ability contract to have some stability for next year.

If Backlund was somehow traded I would be fine with keeping Coleman and making him the Captain

Isn't Rooney on pace for 82 goals in the NHL this season?

Definitely from the Flames. Francis publishes his "Weegar willing to waive his trade clause" piece -- a piece typically that would go out in the morning -- a little over an hour before this breaks. Lots of people talking.

View of Salt Lake City from a nearby mountain. Neat looking city.

I wonder if defenseman Olli Maatta and his $3.5 million for this year and two more are part of the return to offset the salaries somewhat. He has played 22 games this year and is averaging 12 min a game. He looks like a guy they'd want to dump.

The Flames would finally get the guy they should have drafted instead of Mark Jankowski.

Give us all your bad contracts.....

Then we can flip them next year at the deadline for even more assets.

There are more than just 2 options. He can easily say trade me to X, Y, or Z teams or I'm not waiving. Some of you guys make it seem it's easy to commit yourself and your family to a new city and franchise with only a couple of days to decide.

Do you really think they will be that much worse without Weegar?

And the Flames can say those teams aren't offering anything we deem acceptable
