My first reaction to this is extremely positive. Well done BT!

Now cheering for Dallas of course. Having a second 1st would be outstanding!

Klimchuk and Agostino are all we've got to show for iginla, i suppose there's still hope given that they're prospects but...

Sure but in order to make the Western Finals they'll have to beat Chicago most likely since they're all Central teams.

Honestly i don't see how anyone can be upset with this return. Treliving grinded DAL. Make the conference finals and we get a 1st on top of a 2nd round 19 LW and a 24 yera old D that has played most of this season. Flames win on the return big.

Dean Molberg @fan960boomer
Based on reports from a number of guys I respect in the WHL on Pollock, all mentioned his skill level and shot/release. Won Mem Cup in Edm.

I guess everyone here's on the Stars bandwagon now? I already was, they're fun.

Anyway, I picked "great trade", but it wasn't more than I expected. It was about what I expected. However, it's still a great trade, because Kris Russell is hot garbage as a hockey player and getting a return like this for garbage is pretty great for the Flames.

I always liked the name Hakan Loob myself (especially with all the extra "O's" in his name on the concourse during that 50 goal season).

Chicago has one more point than Dallas...you guys are acting like it would be the Oilers against the Caps

Who knows Chicago could get a run for their money in the first round...something to cheer for anyway
