Imo the Flames trade deadline deals last season suggest otherwise.

How so?

Granlund would also be a good #3C target

I'm wondering if the Red Wings and Bruins continue to struggle what guys like Zacha, Coyle and Veleno could go for

 

[Menzinger]

How so?

They traded Zadorov, a guy that multiple members of the media had linked to the Leafs (and the guys own agent even publicly tweeted out mid-game that Leafs fans will love the guy), and the Flames then traded him for peanuts to a division rival instead.

To be fair, Leafs was asking for retention while Canucks didn't

Didn’t that have to do with salary retention?

Calgary didn't want to retain ( certainly an owner decision) that's why they had less than what they could

You’d think McCabe - Tanev and Rielly - Murphy would be getting a majority of the ice time so yeah I’d be confident with OEL - Timmins/Hakanpaa for 14-16 minutes a night.

I really can't understand the love for Reilly, he's been the teams 4th best dman so far this season, he can't be played in shutdown moments, sadly they've committed long term and our stuck paying 7 million for

Not confident about that 3rd pair in the playoffs are you?

OEL has been outstanding and arguably our best defenceman, why he's on the 3rd pair and not Reilly is absurd based on play.

You really like Gourde eh? He's a small guy, who's speed isn't what it once was, and he isn't as effective now because of it. Personally, I think there are far better targets out there. Especially given his cap hit.

Zero interest in Gourde

True.

There have been many 3rd. party transactions though, to work around that.
