Flames and Jackets deal Wingers, Prospects and Goalies

[jackdaniels]

Flames continue to move players as part of the lineup overhaul initiated by the new owner.  :toast:
We're not here to sit in the bleachers. We're here to shake up our sleeping team and build a :winner: :judge:

To Columbus
Reto Berra, $2.3m (2013-2016)
Rene Bourque, $3.3m (2013-2016)
Prospect D - Xavier Ouellet (2011: 2/48 - 0 Games)

To Calgary
Eric Cole, $1.6m (2013-2016)
Anders Lindback, $1.8m (2013-2016)
LTIR til late-Feb or March Jared Boll, $0.6m (2013-2015)
Prospect D - Adam Clendening (2011: 2/36 - 0 Games)

Jackets wanted to move veteran RW Cole and I don't like LW Rene who's younger.
I asked for Lindback and the price was Berra. Fine with that.
My Flames eat some deadweight salary in Boll who's been on LTIR more often than not last few yrs to even out the cap hits more.
The prospects balance out the deal with Ouellet a RedWings product in return for a piece of my rebuilding project Clendening from the Hawks system.

CBJ to confirm. Thanks PPG!  :toast:

BJ's confirm this deal with the Flames. :iatp:

Columbus has some depth in goal with MiLR goalie Matt Hackett possibly moving up in Buffalo next season. Wasn't loving Lindback being buried in Tampa behind Bishop though I read Bishop got his head kicked in by a teammate last night so Lindback might get a few more starts if Benny Bishop lands on the IR. I think Berra is a better goalie and has the tools and ability to steal more starts in Calgary.

Cole runs hot and cold and we have enough Right Wings in Columbus so adding a LW was important. Bourque is almost 5yrs younger and has more gas left in the tank at 31.

As for the prospects I like Xavier more than Adam but that's a personal pref.

Good dealing with you JD! Keep up the good work in Calgary man!  :toast:
Good fun watching the rebuilding! Can't wait to see how it all turns out when you're done! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Bishop's Bolts teammates sure do like hitting him.
Not the first time a teammate hurt him.

My Flames approve of this injury update! Ha ha

I think this is a solid deal that is good for both teams. Its tough for me to call a winner, maybe Calgary. But its probably too even in my mind to call.

As it turns out Lindback also got hurt last night and is out longer. Caught a break there. Bish out 1 game only. Lindy out until late February. Didn't mean for that to happen JD but better to you than me. LOL

:iatp:

I would say this trade is even. Lindback hasn't been the same since his injury in Nashville and he's stuck behind Bishop. Berra is stuck in Calgary's rebuild. Cole and Bourque are a wash. Both prospects are considered NHL caliber and ready soon!
