Seravalli: Flames trying to trade for a center

[Volica]

I don't get opinion of Krebs...I don't think that guy has shown anything worthwhile in his career so far.

Rumours around Calgary that this is a guy they've dug in on and the response from Buffalo was 'not no, but not right now' in hopes that he finds his game.
Calgary is still licking its wounds in terms of 'I want to play here' players. Over the past 3 years we've had multiple players flat out leave, or we shipped them out because of their unwillingness to sign. Conroy and co. are still trying to build a culture. Krebs being from Okotoks would be someone who'd definitely fit in the 'I want to be here' slot.

lol what a joke. They win a few games and think everything is turned around. Ship out Hubs and Kadri if possible and rebuild. Dont be dumb.

What Calgary would be ready to pay for Kirby Dach?

Looking to add an age appropriate centre =/= turned around.
In fact Conroy in his last interview mentioned that while the hot start is great and this is a great way to start the season that they haven't changed their direction for continuing the rebuild.

Interesting, seems like the type of player they are after. Is he rfa still next contract?

They'd have to be optimistic about his center and injury future though

Montreal isn’t the right team for Calgary to be dealing with in trades currently. Calgary would rather give up an older more talented/proven player in their quest for a young centre, and I doubt Montreal wants to add age and skill at this point as they’re definitely still no where close to a playoff team yet. Like I doubt Montreal would want any of Coleman+ for Dach or Kadri for Dach+, and he’s not the calibre of guy you’d want to be the main piece in an Andersson trade. Calgary won’t be giving up youth to get older youth with unrealized potential.

I'm amazed you've invented what you did without being able to read

This has nothing to do with the Flames start and far more to do with losing Schwindt on waivers

What? It has absolutely nothing to do with Schwindt. It has everything to do with having few good top-6 center prospects, none of whom are right handed.

Where was it ever reported that the center prospect had to be top 6? This is simply about lack of young centers in the organization at all. This was a need before Calgary's hot start, and only got emphasizes more when Schwindt was claimed then Rooney got hurt.

Flames' Conroy knows his team still needs a centre, despite their record

The Calgary Flames are looking for another centre. They have been ever since they lost Elias Lindholm nine months ago. It’s not new.

Aiming to replace Lindholm with a 23-25 year old. Don't think they are sweating Scwindt

Less than Montreal paid I'd guess
