The Calgary Flames At The Trade Deadline

01/09/2016 at 8:19am EST

from Randy Sportak of the Calgary Sun,

This season’s trade deadline is a rarity, coming on Feb. 29.

That leaves slightly more than seven weeks to make a deal, but uncertain is what kind of deals the Flames will make.

The list of pending unrestricted free-agents consists of goalies Ramo and Hiller, defenceman Kris Russell and forwards Jiri Hudler and David Jones.

Even if they are in a playoff spot come the end of February, the Flames will very likely look to move at least a couple of those players at that time. Maybe almost all of them.

At the same time, rest assured the club will be looking to bring in players as they try to add more young players and prospects amidst the rebuild.

They were very interested in Ryan Johansen before he was traded from the Columbus Blue Jackets to the Nashville Predators and rest assured GM Brad Treliving knows what Tampa Bay Lightning GM Steve Yzerman wants for Jonathan Drouin.

Regardless of whether they’re in a playoff spot, the Flames will be an interesting follow at the deadline.
