[Rumour] Are the Flames eyeing a couple names on the Sabres?

[Kulstad]

just saw this on capfriendly.com (https://www.capfriendly.com/forums/thread/118433), granted it's posted under "Armchair GM"

to BUF:
Andersson, R
Bennett, S
Foo, S

to CGY:
Kane, E ($2,625,000 retained)
Girgensons, Z.
Antipin, V.

[The Fonz]

Horrendous.

[ForeverFlameFan]

Can we stop trying to trade Bennett or even having him in proposals?

Ya... thats a brutal trade. I dont see BT trading andersson unless we are getting back something much bigger

Flames value Andersson as a future top 4 NHL player. I wouldn’t trade him for Kane straight up, even with an extension.

I really do wish the flames gave Rasmus more opportunities to prove himself in the NHL, it will hopefully happen soon but I would hate seeing him traded without barely seeing what he could do the NHL. He’s 100% ready

Anderson is the only "blue chip" in the organization. No way we should move him.

I agree he is one of our best, but I think Valimaki is our most valuable prospect. Given his draft position and already very complete game. Neither should be traded

Edit: ah the 3rd round pick is Fox. Got it, been a long day

Yeah. I was not clear there. Should have named all the players

I figure Killington is the only D prospect I would consider moving. Wotherspoon of course could be added to a deal, but im not sure how much value he has.

Really I would like to see the team do little to nothing at the deadline. I think we will regret moving any of the top 8 or so prospects this year.

Highly doubtful the Flames make a big trade tomorrow. Treliving has always made these kinds of deals at the draft or weeks in advance of the deadline.

Honestly I wouldn’t even want to move Kylington either, he’s developing very nicely and has tools that no other Flames prospect has. His skating is next level good and has improved greatly in the AHL and still so young.

I hope your right. If management wants Kane they can sign him in the offseason and keep our prospects!

Salary retention isn't an asset they can use for the Flames to maximize return in that fun little Bennett/Andersson offer. They don't need it.

Its crazy how young he is. Seems like he has been in the system forever! Lets hope for a quiet boring day!

[ComixZone]

I am not sold on Spooner at all. I think he is a product of circumstance.

Bennett > 1st round pick
Bennett > Spooner
Bennett > 2nd round pick

I wouldn’t trade Bennett for all 3 pieces because of what Bennett has already done and is trending to do.

Fox > 1st round pick
Fox > Spooner
Fox > 2nd round pick

I also wouldn’t trade Fox for all 3 pieces because of how good a prospect he is.

Maybe he snags something decent when the prices drop tomorrow near the deadline, but I'm not holding my breath.

[Flamette]

I can't believe how many people would be okay taking on Okposo's contract, under any circumstances.

Ya maybe just a waiver pick up if we are lucky

Ya, still only 20 and has almost matched his point totals from last season in 17 less games. Was thrown into the deep end right away and clearly has done great things for his development. Could be a jewel with just a little more patience.

I still have Kylington ranked ahead of Fox and would move Fox before I do Kylington. I really really like Fox too, but he isn’t signed and I wasnt a huge fan with his defensive game at the world juniors. Great prospect but Kylington has better tools imo
