No, we gained a playoff rental for likely a very minimal cost

Pittsburgh brings in Phaneuf?

[daveinspruce]

Not going to resign him with Ortio making a push and Gillies coming up.

You mean the goalie that has played great the last 3 games when we are in a PLAYOFF RACE

ffs, by your logic every pending UFA in the league should be traded

Ya know, we could always resign him...

Hiller could get traded at the draft or offseason...

It's not a forgone conclusion that we lose him for nothing... And you don't trade a goalie, UFA or not, who is winning you games and playing great when you're in a playoff race! This is great asset management by the Flames. We win by not dealing him.

Not exactly "encouraging" a playoff push if that's our only move.

That is very short sighted on your part. Giving up a premium for a rental during a rebuild is not the way to go.

I don't doubt he was seeing what was available, but not breaking the roster apart to sell off assets helps this season and not giving up picks or prospects for over-priced rentals is the best move big picture.

Glad it's over, now I need to get some work done.

To be honest Trade Deadline day is underwhelming and a little bit over-exaggerated now. It has such a 2005 feel to it now. A lot of teams have become smarter and instead of hitting the panic button right at the end they conclude their deals early if they get the right package.

Until someone says the Flames haven't done anything... still possible a trade

Meh, Only NHL goalie trade was in the Isles-Sabres deal (and Chicago didn't get any calls on Raanta). Goalie market was probably pretty light.

Another ridiculous, short sighted post.

Ortio is hurt, so we have no back-up if Hiller gets hurt or falters.

Having Ramo as either our starter or 1B as we battle for a playoff spot is certainly not "nothing".

Disagree, we need Ramo down the stretch.

It doesn't look like the market is great for goalies at the moment. It was reported that Chicago wasn't even receiving offers for Raanta. Besides, most teams contending at the moment are already set up in net (if they weren't, they wouldn't be contending). And teams that aren't contending, are likely happy to wait until the offseason when more goalies will be on the market instead of shopping now.

I still think there is a chance we re-sign him and trade a goalie in September based on what happens at camp.

a 2nd is too much for Stewart.

Treliving amazes all and puts his stamp on trading Derek Englland for Crosby and Malkin.

Flames didn't make any crazy trades? Relief washes over me in an awesome wave.

I may have spoken too soon...

Late-breaking deal: Sabres have traded all their equipment and will be playing via hologram the remainder of the season.
