What would you do on March 4, 2009?
NHL Trade Deadline: March 4, 2009.
With that said, what would you try and accomplish on or before the NHL Trade Deadline? What would you like to see happen?
Some numbers to consider:
Calgary Cap Space remaining for 2008-2009: $2.65 million (Keep in mind that the number crunchers are forecasting a Team Salary Cap of around $52 million for 2009-2010; The 2008-2009 Salary Cap is approx. $57 million)
Expiring Contracts for 2008-2009:
Forwards:
- Michael Cammalleri ($3.35 million; UFA)
- Todd Bertuzzi ($1.95 million; UFA)
- David Moss ($550,000; UFA)
- Andre Roy ($550,000; UFA)
- Marcus Nilson ($1 million; UFA)
- Jamie Lundmark ($660,000; UFA)
Defence:
- Adrian Aucoin ($4 million; UFA)
- Adam Pardy ($500,000; RFA)
- Anders Eriksson ($1.5 million; UFA)
- Rhett Warrener ($2.35 million; Injury Retirement)
Goalie(s):
- Curtis McElhinney ($500,000; RFA)
I’d like to see the team replace Curtis McElhinney… nothing personal, but I’d like to see a veteran goalie who can win games, that’s all… (How about another former Keenan goalie in Ed Belfour? Okay, maybe not… Calling Roman Turek?!) With Adam Pardy deserving of a decent wage hike to around $800,000/yr, I’d say let Aucoin walk and use the savings along with Eriksson and Nilson to pay the raises of Moss, Cammalleri and Bertuzzi… The Flames will have the same defence core with Vandermeer replacing Aucoin and they have good prospects that can fill in the needed forward positions.

Bring in a pest and leave the rest alone. Do nothing to eat into the cap space that will be needed to re-sign Cammalleri.

Dion Phaneuf is a BUM complete bum 6mill for this moron he is TERRIBLE. If Regehr was on the ice tonight against Vancouver I GUARANTEE they would not have scored. Minus 11 are you kidding me and some people think he should play for team Canada LOL I would rather put a ham sandwich on defense then this goof ball. Give him to Edmonton for a DEFENSEMEN who can play defense a draft pick and we will score 7-8 goals a game on them put his 6mill into cammi bourque and aucoin let Edmonton have him he is the definition of BUM he plays 30mins a game so what we don’t need that bring up Aulie next year we always get shell shacked first 5games anyways let him get use to NHL expierence he will get blown up but kipper is a fat shit for the first few games anyways so wont matter. Our slowest skating defensemen can’t ever skate backwards and a turtle could beat him skating forwards is PLUS11 Phaneuf minus 11. BTW whoever has him on team Canada is for lack of any other word completly F*****

BTW kipper is amazing any1 see that save on wellwood defnitly in the top 10 saves of all time i love kipper but he isent into top form for at least 5-10 games into the year sometimes longer but ill take it, its not how u start its how u finish. And his GAA would be around 2.10-2.20 if Bumeuf didnt play D for us.
