They're unveiling the Alt. Third tomorrow, so there's no better models than the team's leadership group. So a good chance a Captain is also named.

Other than that... a jersey sponsor?

It wouldn't, so they would need to combine it with other stuff to make people sit still and watch it.

Horrible thought.

I hope the sponsor is Big Chief and they put Bite Me on the jerseys. That would excite me.

It's probably the same rumor I heard, has to do with a certain RW in St.Louis, I'll believe it when I see it.

Doesn't sound like it's trade related. Also would be strange a bunch or random fan bloggers would all be in the loop about a trade. It's usually pretty quiet around the Flames.

A line of Huberdeau Lindholm Tarasenko would be nuts.

Has your source been correct in the past?

Why do you say that?

I dunno. I could see it if the team is disappointed with nobody really stepping up in training camp and wanting as much time to have a new player gel with the team. Why not now?

So... Backlund C, Tanev A?

I just don’t recall any meaningful trades at this time of year (after training camp, before season opener). Doesn’t mean they shouldn’t, just not used to it

I wish you didn’t post this. I had no plans of checking my phone for captaincy or 3rd jersey news. Now I want tarasenko. Lol

Don't want to rain on the parade, but who do we get rid of to afford Tarasenko's $7.5M cap hit?

Well with Perunovich and Scandella both being out with injuries I could see them wanting to shore up their D but Tarasenko would require one of the big names on D going back the other way.

Huberdeau - Lindholm - Tarasenko
Mangiapane - Kadri - Toffoli
Dube - Backlund - Coleman
Lucic - Rooney - Lewis
Ruzicka

Pretty slick top 6 no doubt about it; every part of me prefers Patty Kane but Tarasenko would be a nice compromise, either player will get a boatload of points on that top line duo of Huby/Lindy. It comes down to cost which in this case would undoubtedly revolve around Hanifin, with Tarasenko I feel it’s close to 1 for 1 territory where as Kane would need a + or 2. Thoughts?

I think Huberdeau gets the C… I get Backlund, but I think in a year people will really want Huberdeau in that role. He seems like a natural leader, he’s our best player now… just makes sense to me.

Salary retention, and the Flames would be able to give the Blues some very slight cap space savings, if it was a deal revolved around one of the d men.

I can understand both sides.

Huberdeau for a new direction and new face. He certainly has the attributes for a captaincy
Backlund as our legacy player, also deserving for his time put in, dedication to the community, respect from his team.

Either one is a great choice I think
