Todd Cordell: G31 Calgary Flames @ Minnesota Wild: Five things to watch

Will be interesting to see if Janko get time on the PP like he briefly did last game. The Flames PP has been bad lately and it would be nice if the solution is something internal rather than outside the organization.

I don't see the Flames making any deals anytime soon. GG will experiment with (everyone) prior to asking Treliving for help through the trade wire...

I'm sure they have. Is he the solution to our PP woes? Meh... not worth the baggage (real or perceived) and ya, the cost will be stupid.

Or you’re meaning Francis. I was talking about Friedman.

But I agree on Francis, he’s a donkey for sure.

Oh yeah Eric Francis, my bad. But he is a (frank)boy.

Friedman mentioned you and kane? You probably could do better than Kane, unless they are giving him away for cheap.

whats the sitch with Backlund? For sure getting resigned?

He'll get resigned... He took a while to round into form but he's been one of the most valuable players we've had for a few years now.

Maybe 10-15 guys will get (over)paid this summer, if they don't re-sign first

If Backlund walks, would LOVE to see the Flames go after Neal or Stone.

I'm sure backlund was happy to see that $80 million salary cap number ! If he wants to cash in, and why wouldn't he, this is his opportunity for sure.

Stastny on a 2 year deal would be perfect IMO, still brings it, over pay short term to get the last few productive years left

I'd sure like to be kicking Eric Francis

Few months in jail doesn't scare me, would be well worth it.
