Seravalli: Flames trying to trade for a center

[Volica]

Naw. The Flames have 2 solidly performing top 4 d-men who won't be around by the time the rebuild is done. They are trying to kick the tires and get a solid top 6 young centre to pump up the rebuild.

I think Razzy, Weegar and Bahl have all been excellent.
Bean has been perfectly fine but not a guy I think is a long term Flame.
The rest are just journeymen and guys we won't remember them playing here in 6 years.

Agreed.

The Flames have a very low cap-hit. They obviously aren't trying to compete and have filled out their d-core with a few place holders. If they can trade those place holders for solid assets, that's obviously a plus.
