Proposal: Useful Cap dump to Flames?

Jarnkrok when healthy for a 5th would be fine

OK, I originally hoped the Flames could pick top 5 this year and draft that elusive franchise Center. That ain't happening, and I doubt top 10 is either. So we're gonna have to try for playoffs since we'll be handing Montreal our 1st.

Who's a useful depth player on your team that you'd like to trade to open up capspace? The thought is that the Flames could add a player to get them there, and gain a good pick in the process.

Looking for a hardworking, defensive, physical player that is just over priced. Preferrably with maybe only 1 more year on his contract. No albatross type offers please.

As a hab fan I approve of this idea.

Remember when hab fans were being laughed at for thinking the CGY pick could possibly be coming to us and not Florida's?

I sure do... Good times!

Go Flames!!

The premise of this thread is that the Flames aren't picking in the top-5 which I just can't understand.

On December 31st last year, the Coyotes were still quite firmly in the playoff spot and ended up picking at #6. Surely there is still plenty of time for the Flames' wheels to fall off, which everyone should reasonably expect to happen. Their leading scorer is a defenseman on 0.6 PPG pace. I don't understand what bringing in another roster player would do for them.

Surely you either sit tight and wait or even consider selling high on someone like Andersson.

First player I thought of was Josh Anderson if you scratch the good defensively bit of your post

Charlie Coyle. Oh, you said useful not out of shape and useless. My mistake.

That's not happening. Only was it does is if Montreal is throwing in firsts to move Anderson, which would be insanely stupid.

Too old to fit the flames' plans.

Christian Dvorak, since Calgary seems to have a need at center, and Montreal would love to help them avoid a top 10 pick. Expiring contract, overpaid but serviceable.
