Stempniak = Kulemin…both are
- LeftCoaster

Stemper is a FA at the years end and is cheap. With the right situation he can be a good 3rd liner and possibly a 2nd if needed.

what about wideman
- DDM-Coga

I could see it. Keep in mind though he has 3 or 4 yrs left at 5.25 I think.

Bidding on Stempniak? LOL this guy doesn't even score on his own team. How he adds scoring is a mystery to me.

Unless the return is awesome Russell is going no where.

Well he's a UFA at the end of the season so if he's unwilling to sign here he has to be traded.

Finally a Flames rumor. Will the Flames be having a fire sale sending off Stemps, Cammy, Russel, Butler,and Baertschi?

He can be a perennial 14 goal and 30 point man. I can see how the demand for a serviceable 3rd liner would be front page news. We all know Burke feeds Ek news. Instead of HBO's 24/7 show Ek should start one called Wag the Dog with special thanks to Brian Burke.

I agree with you, but Burke said he is in discussions with his agent.

I wouldn't mind him for the second pairing on the Avs, wonder if PAP in your Top 6 is intriguing enough to start up talks

Isn't he like 28ish? Might be a little older for our rebuild...

No nobody wants to trade with the Flames

What's your issue?

Go Broncos! I hope Sherman breaks a leg! (I mean that in the good luck way).

Should be a good time regardless - many many beers will be consumed

I think Kulemin is too?

I guess, but I would think wides could get a better return. Who knows though.

Yeah he wouldn't be cheap, other parts would have to be added to probably get close. If you get a shot at ekblad that could be a nice replacement for your top 4

He goes on streaks and can hit like a freight train considering his size. He's a good 3rd line 2 way player.

Yeah as much as I want Ekblad I think the Oilers will get him. Surprise, surprise!

You guys might win the lottery and leap from them in the picks, wouldn't that be the biggest kick in the nuts to them to steal ekblad like that

He's 30. But his cap hit may help for a couple of years. Then we could look at moving Hudler for a better return.

Does PAP have a no trade?
