Biggest problem here, IMO, isn't whether Hall would go, (also would cry tears of joy to see him in Calgary), or what the trade should be or how much. The scary things to do this is you lose one of your top 3, maybe top two young defensemen, with huge upside for the future, big talented, hockey IQ, attitude, and keep Hamonic and Brodie on expiring contracts with the potential to get nothing in return for them when they go UFA next year. Hanafin, Valimaki, Andersson are 3 of our top 4 D for the future the way they are progressing. I would actually go with trading Johnny or Monny + for Hall before I did this. Monny + pick or prospect for Hall, or Hall and mid to late pick/medium level prospect for Johnny. With Hall you get scoring, a gritty edge, bigger, and home town boy over a whinny hand waiving baby (love the points but his antics and crying are getting too much). Also why do you think JG doesn't have a letter on his chest yet? Because he isn't a leader.

Sujet: WAdam Fox acquisition
Just a chime into Fox. This scenario is going get out of hand if players are allowed to pick and chose and hold teams ransom. Another US born player, doesn't want to play for the team drafting them, wants to only play on one team (his hometown), and Carolina ends up having to trade one of the biggest pieces of the trade with Calgary. Remember Lindros refusing to play for Quebec. These kids should be at least held with some sense of loyalty and respect for the game, and who drafted them....he was picked in the 3rd round! Lets just let every player pick there favorite place to play, hell lets let them put in a No Draft list before the entry draft. Terrible, wouldn't want him on my team, yes was excited when we picked him, but not now, glad we sent him on his way and did well getting Hanafin and Lindholm. Cheers,

Agreed, so many moves wanting to add to offense. Calgary is at or near the top in almost every offensive category....except special team. Goals against they are also middle of the pack. We need better depth in goal than Gillies, and help on penalty killing. I love what Andersson looks like he might be, but I would like to see us bring in a veteran right D, still unsure about how Valimaki and Stone are going to be and when they come back, although Valimaki looks like the making of a very good Dman in the future. We also don't want to give up any picks after not having anything in the first two rounds last year and nothing in the 2nd this year. Playoff experience, goaltending and better work on the special teams would take the Flames deep into the playoffs. If Neal could find his way back to scoring...scary.
