That's kind of the point. We're all saying that we only consider a trade if Rutherford takes a complete leave from his senses.

Russell for Maatta? I'd do that in a heartbeat. Anything else, no dice.

Exactly. Fair market for Russell would likely be what Petry got give or take a bit. I wouldn't deal him for that little, it would take 2X that and probably more, a ridiculous sum. If a team wants to Reto Berra us for Russell, then you'd have to look at it even though you might not have set out to do that.

Russell is not going anywhere. Too valuable to this team

If we trade Russell, I think that says a message that we are in sell mode and that the GM doesn't have much faith in this group as it is now. It would definetly have to be an overpayment for me to be happy with the trade.

If we trade Russell for anything except for a young NHL dman who can play top 4 minutes, we may as well sell the farm. Treliving has said that he's not going to so this, if anything he wants to add to help the group make the playoffs.

Trades may depend a little on how soon Giordano will be back. If it's soon, we retain our players and maybe buy. If he's out for the season, maybe we sell.

Have spoken with some Penguins employees who aren't horribly blown away by Kris Russell.

Pens beat writer. Doubt they would meet what Calgary would be looking for.

Flames need to add to their defensive core, I don't see how you do that by removing one of your key pieces. Addition by subtraction? I don't think so.

I wonder who the employees were? Martin, Scuderi, and Bortuzzo possibly.

Sounds like they are moving on...

Being told that the Penguins aren't in the $2.5-$2.6 million price range. Still shopping, but a different store.

Treliving adds he is not interested in any inquiries for current players at this point. Calls this am, nothing makes sense. Including PIT

Good, makes no sense to decimate our group IMO. Show this team that you want to win and you care about the future. I like this path and by no means is our season over.

Good job so far from Treliving.
