Flames Not Yet Done - More to Come? Possible D for F?
Was a bit hesitant to post, but...
-Ryan Leslie on 960 says there are a couple of players still on Brad's radar.
-Just heard second hand via someone listening to the radio, plus its Derek Wills, but Wills apparently said its very likely that the flames aren't done, and that there will be another trade to come? Referenced a defenseman for another top-6 type forward?
EDIT on the Wills front, don't know how to link to posts, ha, but someone noted:
"I heard this, and that’s what Wills said, though he was pretty clear that it was just a guess, and that he had a feeling the flames aren’t done here. The top 6 forward for defensemen was admittedly just an idea he had.
I honestly don’t think Wills is connected to the Flames in a way that would generate inside information on trades. Not really his style either"

Maybe a valimaki or kylington trade? Seems we have a log jam.

I don't think it's necessary or efficient to have 6 D who are top 4 quality (which is arguably the state of the d core right now) and that's not counting Valimaki, Mackey, Stone. It makes sense to me. There's only so many minutes to go around. You do get diminishing returns at some point.

That would be awesome, doubt Hanifin goes back to Carolina though. I could see something around Hanifin for Konecny from Philly

Maybe we trade a D for an F, and then bring Stone back into the fold to play regular minutes

Peter Maher might not have broken a story like this, but he’d have known about it.

I agree. The Flames could go with McKay or Valimaki as the #6 guy and it wouldn't hurt them. Adding a top six winger would be more impactful.

Au contraire, it's a secret Sutter strategy: Remember that time Brent Sutter put 5 defensemen on the power play?

I don't want to move Hanifin unless it is a key long term piece, that would be a deal I would be ok with.

Agreed, the return from CAR would have to be more than Necas

Valimaki + for a middle six winger is my guess.
That Nashville news to come.. maybe a predator?

Wonder what is going to happen with Kessel. He would be really interesting now and a nice complementary piece. We will have about 1.3 mil in space
Huberdeau - Lindholm - Kessel
Mangiapane - Kadri - Toffoli
Pelletier - Backlund - Coleman
Lucic - Rooney - Dube
Ruzicka - Lewis
Hanifin - Anderson
Weegar - Tanev
Kylington - Zadorov
Meloche

The center position can only get so erect.
