Not sure where to ask this, but will the Flames put Smid on LTIR prior to trade deadline? Will it benefit them by opening up more cap space?

(Hint: I know nothing about NHL contracts)

If the Flames are looking for a good longer term solution. Who on the FW keeper list is susceptible to being replaced by an incoming player?

The Flames have been dipping into Smid's LTIR space since the beginning of November IIRC. They are using roughly 700k of his 3.5mil right now.

Assuming the 7 protected players are

Monahan, Gaudreau, Bennett, Backlund, Frolik, Ferland, Brouwer

I would say easily Brouwer is the odd man out if they find an upgrade.

Habs reporter for Sportsnet:

Eric Engels @EricEngels
From what I've been told, I wouldn't rule out the possibility of Minnesota picking up Evander Kane between now and Wed. #NHLTrade


Lavoie saying Coyotes testing the waters on Duclair:

Renaud Lavoie
@renlavoietva
Un autre nom à surveiller chez les Coyotes est Anthony Duclair. Les Coyotes tentent de voir ce qu'ils pourraient obtenir pour ses services.

Craig Morgan‏@craigsmorgan
Shane Doan clearly not happy about the Martin Hanzal trade & direction of team in an intermission interview with @FOXSPORTSAZ's @ToddWalsh.

I didn't see the interview, but how strange. What did Doan think was going to happen? This has been talked about for a long time. And the Coyotes came out of it doing pretty well.

With what Bishop went for, do you think Brad Trevling can get a good young starter for cheap? Go with Elliott and the young starter.

That would be ideal, but why would you assume the price of an aging UFA starter indicates to you that a good young starter could be had fir a palatable price if at all?

Maybe Shane wanted to go to Minny.

Otherwise, what... he thought they were still in the playoff race, and giving up Hanzal was running up the white flag?

I think the problem with trading for a "good young starter" is the ones that are likely available would need to be protected in the expansion draft, or else will get claimed.

Meanwhile the ones that don't need to be protected in the draft due to their age/experience are likely unavailable, such as Saros. Why would Nashville trade him unless we paid a lot for him?

Looks like he was caught off guard emotionally:

Maybe Shane shouldn't have wasted 20 years playing for a team that never seriously competed for a cup and was always about 15 minutes away from relocating.

The guy had multiple opportunities to move on as a free agent or via trade but chose to stay because he liked the weather and had some horses there.

What a waste of a career.

I've been leaning toward Scott Darling myself. But he's never even played half an NHL season so it'd be a gamble.

This is the one that sticks out to me. Washington is in a tough place because Grubauer isn't exempt from the expansion draft and has been incredibly impressive this season. They're clearly going to protect Holtby, so do they want to risk losing Grubauer for nothing?

I have always been a big fan of Doan. It must be hard on a guy like that to be going out like this. He has given all he had to that franchise.

He is a guy I would target at the right price to come and play in our bottom 6, supply some size, grit, leadership and character on a playoff run. I would take him over Iginla at this point.
