Ho Sang and Strome, both apparently available. Would love to see either come to Cowtown, a good alternative to the Lazar option.

I would be more open to a Ho Sang type off ice issue than I would a Kane issue.

I think kane's bravado, posting pictures using stacks of money as a phone, etc would run very thin, very fast in Calgary - especially with the economy being what it is.

Notwithstanding that public support for a new building will be highest with a good team, public sentiment could be cratered quickly by a guy who seems entitled to huge sums and then has a great time tossing it people's faces afterwards.

Does anyone think a hockey trade involving either Tatar or Nyquist possible? Desirable? Both would seem to be a good fit. I wonder what it would take.

He does. Which is part of the reason why I want him. If Buffalo could retain some salary I would go as high as our first. I get people hate Kane, but the guy can score. Could fit anywhere in our line up

I'm interested. Wonder what Snow is looking for.

Well pretty happy I decided against taking the morning off for this Trade deadline. Easily one of the more boring ones I can remember, since most teams got business done earlier.

Still hoping for something out of left field to make it interesting.

Yeah, I think it's definitely possible.

Yes I had a feeling (albiet a long shot hope) the Flames made a big push for Mrazek and one of Tatar or Nyquist.

Would cost the Flames a ton (1st, Gillies, top D prospect, maybe more) but could answer the goalie long term and get a fit with the top 6

Don't trade for Kane Treliving! He will ruin our chances at getting a new arena built!

Bourque scored 8 goals in 17 games for the Habs in the 2013/2014 playoffs.

He's 35 and has worse statistics than Jarome this season. Does he add more than Hathaway on the 4th line?
