Value of: Matt Read to Calgary

[Paper]

Flames don't have the cap space to take on Read without sending a contract back

They also don't have the cap space to call up anyone from the AHL right now

They could just LTIR Smid and send down whichever forward Read replaces and have more than enough room...

Don't really want Read, but cant the Flames just stick Smid on LTIR to get some space. It seems unlikely he's going to play any time soon - if ever.

The Flyers could use some help at 3rd line centre, I was wondering if Mikael Backlund was available.

Not a chance. Backlund is not going anywhere right now.

 

[DJJones]

Backlund might be our best forward right now.

He's completely off the table.

 

[I Pity The Foo]

Matt Read is not the answer for the flames. We already have plenty of 2nd and 3rd line wingers don't need anymore

 

[Rebels57]

Really depends on the price. We don't have really much of an excess of talent at any position. I would give up probably a second with a small plus.

Done deal. Just a 2nd gets it done.

Flyers are loaded on the wings and have additional prospects ready to graduate next season like Oskar Lindblom (tearing up SHL). Plus we won't be able to protect Read in the expansion draft anyway.

Calgary wouldn't touch that, come on now
