Today the Flames trade C Wayne Primeau & a 2011 2nd round draft pick to the Maple Leafs for F Colin Stuart, D Anton Stralman and a 2012 7th round draft pick.
I think this is another masterful trade by GM Sutter. He has gotten rid of his last bad contract in Primeau, added more depth and most importantly added more cap space. Now I dont think the extra cap space will be used anytime soon but come trade deadline time it is always nice to have some space and after last years 9 forwards in the line-up for a couple of late season games is definitely now a thing of the past. The Flames have added lots of depth for their new farm team in Abbostford, so they too could have a fairly strong team this season. Finally just one last note this has been the second time Stuart has been traded this summer making it pretty interesting for himself.
