Speculation: Trade Deadline Preview: Will The Real Sellers Please Stand Up?

[Double Dion]

My Flames should definitely be sellers, but likely won't. We are the definition of a deluded organization.

Fabbri is hurt
There is no one in the organization to replace Lundestrom or Leason.

Yup, injured players get traded. Unless he is out for the season.

J Hughes might be hurt . I can see Fitz going hard now for a C ( or two) . That or he punts on the season and doesn’t do anything. They have been dog shit since Christmas and have too many holes to plug . And that was with a healthy J Hughes .
Who are some realistic C options for the Devils ? Nelson ? Strome ? Evans ? I can’t see Fitz using assets in a rental unless he is desperate enough to save the season . Hard to know what he will do and a lot depends on Jacks health . If Jack is out the rest of the regular season, do they say screw it and do nothing ? Do they sell ? ( Kovy) . Do they go hard to replace Jacks production the best they can and use assets on a rental unless? Do they give up Nemec or Mercer to save the season in acquiring anyone ? Hard to know . They will have to see if they LTIR Jack or not I guess then go from there .
