Seravalli: Flames trying to trade for a center

[BonMorrison]

Is Zary no longer projecting as a C?

Also didn't Sharangovich just put up a career year at C?

 

[Habs 4 Life]

Dvorak can be had for a pretty reasonable price

Apparently not, disappointing but that's the impression they gave out.

Hopefully Honzek can. We have to many wingers

Hmm... Let's say there's truth in that rumor. What if Calgary says they'll take on cap dump type contracts but only for a middle 6 C?

Are there teams that might be desperate for some cap space for a TDL deal with an expiring middle 6 C?

I'm almost thinking Toronto with Tavares, but that makes no sense unless the goalie Treliving can snag is one hell of a big fish and they're also looking to retool their middle 6 for speed or something.

Other than that, probably just due diligence on buried RFA? Trying to get a head start in understanding Florida's situation with Bennett after this season?

it said Middle 6, RHC, aged 20-27. Tavares is literally none of those except middle 6

But it is Seravalli, so going 1 for 3 would be an accomplishment.

Depends on a quality of center, but seems like a waste of assets. The hot start will end, and they'll fade. Calgary needs to properly rebuild.

Do they? What is their prospect pipeline looking like? Some teams are able to quickly rebuild if they have a strong NHL supporting cast in place that are not good enough to win with consistently, but add a few stars in the draft who can step into roles right away.

See the Leafs and Devils as recent examples, hell the Rangers too

How about a Derek Ryan reunion?

To Flames: Derek Ryan, Phil Kemp & 2nd rounder
To Oilers: Rasmus Andersson (25% retained)

Hahahaha, if we're doing that fantasy, how about Nuge for Rasmus Andersson straight up? Oilers get 2 RHD and cap savings. Would Nuge waive for Calgary?

And yes, to all my fellow Oilers fans who now hate me - just kidding.

Defense, fantastic
Goalie, Wolf is a rookie so whatever
Wingers, fantastic
Centers, god awful. Well it's not even awful, its just non-existent.
