It’s nice to have high end players producing among the elite that opposing fans can make jokes about ....one day you’ll get there bud ...one day 😉 - Redmile247
I think in today's NHL finding underutilized players and trading for them is imperative.
Saw a rumor the Flames wanted to get Kessel, hopefully it's bad information. I can't think of any NHL player that would fit in less than Kessel would on the Flames. Thank God he has a no trade clause.
Toronto has 2 top six young, fast, skilled players playing down in the line up due to their forward depth (Kapanen & Andreas Johnson) why don't the Flames target them, Toronto needs defense.
I hope and pray the Flames brass are looking at what Vegas did, McPhee got players that played down in the line up who were underutilized, they looked for speed. They basically robbed Columbus getting a player (Karelsen) and multiple picks just for taking a bad salary off Columbus's books.
Treliving is known to be one of the hardest working GM's hopefully he beats the bushes and finds some hidden underutilized gems.
I have to wonder how much of the Brouwer deal was Burke pushing his agenda. It seems out of place and proved to be a horrendous mistake in hindsight.
