Just one day left for NHL teams to make trades and every Flame fan has been wondering what will the Flames do. Well it was cleared up a little bit today with Darryl Sutter telling reporters that he will not move Alex Tanguay before the deadline. THANK THE LORD! Now those awful, awful rumors about Tanguay for Ryder and Pierre McGuire's dumb opinion about how that would be an offensive upgrade for the Flames can be thrown away never to be talked about again.
So far th Flames have only made one minor move in acquiring Jim Vandermeer from the Philadelphia Flyers last week. So far in the two games he has played against he has looked very solid defensively and moving the puck, which was just what the Flames needed, maybe a little better offensive guy but he will do for now and down the stretch. He has looked good alongside Phaneuf and is definitely an upgrade over Eriksson. Well even a pylon would be in that case.
I think the Flames have one more move to make and I think it will be for a player who will play on their third line and add a little more offense. Who this player could be, it is really hard to tell with so many teams still in the playoff hunt, it is hard to tell who will be sellers and who will be buyers. I think this kind of move will be the final piece for Calgary and help them down the stretch and into the playoffs.
Finally I mentioned his name before, and with Mike Cammalleri's name coming up in recent rumors, what about a Huselius for Cammalleri trade? It is really far fetched but I just thought I'd throw it out there for a thinker.
