What do you want the Flames to do at the Deadline?

I’ll be mad if they stand pat, because the division is wide open and the right player could really help our final push.

I’ll be mad if we sell because moving a piece like Brodie will basically mean we’ll miss the playoffs and this whole season was a waste.

I’ll be mad if we blow it up because we have a good core signed to good contracts but keep bringing in lower tier coaches who can’t get them to play consistent hockey.

MAD!

Sounds like you definitely won't be mad tomorrow.

Olli Jokinen?

I dont care if it is buy or sell as long as it isn't nothing

[Crown Royal]

As long as we don't sell and don't trade our first for a rental and I'll be content.

I don’t think he’s gonna try that anymore. I’d anything, trade away a top line core player.

Something.

[Burning Beard]

I hope they make an impactful hockey trade for a core piece that is a better fit with this group. Sounds easy, right?

[Looch City]

Here is what will happen:

Nothing.

Then the next day we'll hear about Tre's trades lost in the "huge back log queue".

Can someone please explain what a “hockey” trade is?

As opposed to some sort of other trade I guess? Does it just mean no draft picks? Sorry probably a stupid question but not as convinced the question is as stupid as the expression.

[kukkudo]

Buy and sell. Buy if someone like Saad can be grabbed for a 2021 first and Jankowski. Sell Stone, Hamonic if can, Talbot if can get second.

Brodie is the question mark if he is not returning than shop him to someone who will overpay big.

NHL players for NHL players that shakes up the participating teams and gives them something they need more of while giving up something they may have too much of.

Seth Jones for Ryan Johansen is an example.

[Azhouse]

Trade one of the UFA d-men and get a scoring forward (not necessarily in the same transaction) .

Paul Byron would bring a much needed element...we don't have nearly enough small LHS.

I think both teams are trying to improve within roughly the same time frame. Weber for Subban. Jones for Johansen. Hall for Larsson. Kadri for Barrie might be a good multi-player example.

As opposed to cap dumps, or one team seeking futures.

Well, this is just patently false.

[Vinny01]

I want the roster to be shaken up a little bit. I want Treliving to keep his good trade record intact and get something done but stick to his valuation.

It just doesn’t feel like this team will flip a switch at any point between now and the playoffs. If they make it I have a hard time seeing a deep run and there is a legit chance they miss. This team needs some change there needs to be something done if they want to really try and turn a corner this season. From all the insider talk it sure seems like a lot is in the works. I will hate to hear more about how close we were on player X or player Y but it couldn’t get done.

[PaperBagger'14]

I want them to make a statement, figure out what this team needs. You either moderately buy or sell (preferably sell) but just make up your damn mind Tre.

[iamca]

I would like to see a few moves involving players I have heard of before, so no fringe 7 defenseman and another plug for our 4th line.

Tre cannot fix what’s wrong with this team tomorrow, however he can make more meh moves.

This team needs a top six forward.

This team needs more speed across the lineup.

This team needs more grit/hard hitting/tough to play against players.

This team needs an up and coming true number 1 goaltender.

Not going to happen at the trade deadline, but you could position the team to get better tomorrow by potentially unloading high on a UFA or couple someone that another team needs for a high draft pick.

We’ll see in a bit...
