If you are going to acquire a player the caliber of Jerome Iginla, you're going to have to pay a hefty price and outbid the other teams who are in the running. Also, I don't think that Calgary has any interest in acquiring Tyler Kennedy (heard his name mentioned a few times) in an Iginla trade, as we have too many similar players.

I agree with your statement... you have to pay to play... but Bennett would be too high a price... the reason Kennedy gets thrown out there is the 2 mill cap hit which losing helps the pens fit iginlas cap hit. The pens are more high on Bennett than they are keen on aquiring iginla so the deal wouldn't happen. pens are probably gonna move picks and prospects or stand pat. your right that we could be outbid though

I hate to rain on fan excitement, But I couldnt help but notice...

Flames last 4 of 6 home wins have been against teams that played the night before, 2 of those opponents they defeated couldnt fly out the night before because of airport cancelation and forced to fly into Calgary just hours before puck drop getting distractions and little sleep night before.

Feb 24th Coyotes, played in Edmonton night before.

March 3rd Canucks, played intense rivalry game against Kings night before, turned away from airport, plain landed 2 hours night before after disrupted sleep.

March 6th Sharks, played intense rivalry game night before against Canucks, turned away from airport, plain landed hours before after disrupted sleep.

March 15th Predators, played rivalry game against Canucks the night before.

I know every team will get an opponent off a game the night before, but ive notice the Flames have been on a good streak of taking advantage of there "competitive advantage" in a relatively short period of time. So they've won 6 straight at home, ive just noticed they've been getting a little EXTRA help from the schedule maker lately and just plain luck, which coincides with there 6 game home winning streak.

Id like to see them win some games straight up, no "circumstances", and win more on the road. I don't know if the schedule will be as kind as it has been, so making up ground wont get easier.

Thanks for the schedule update but we a aware of the circumstances.

I agree...don't forget they won against Detroit also because Gustavsson was in net and Kipper had a good night.

Was so stoked because I thought the Wings would start Gus...then saw Howard.

Don't pull a Toronto & finish in 9th every season Calgary.. Ask them how that works out.

Uhhh we do...thus the debate...

Soooo how is it looking for the Casucks losing under unfair circumstances seeing as Detroit played last night and 3rd in 4?

Canucks scored 6 seconds into the game, because Howard was disoriented, looking the canuck's players pants...

New baby for kipper, that makes it seem like he's going nowhere now

That's why he isn't going to Dallas ?

Ya looks like it.

But I'm wondering if its going to mean he's less likely to be traded now

Kipper wouldnt have a say...his "no trade" expired last year. As tough as it is the team should not take his personal life into account when looking at options to make the team better.
