NHL Rumors: Calgary Flames, St. Louis Blues, and Why Trade Now

It's quieter around the Calgary Flames, while the asking prices are huge in St. Louis. Why not wait until after the Olympic break to trade?

Things have quieted down around the Calgary Flames

Sportsnet: Elliotte Friedman on Saturday Headlines on the Calgary Flames.

** NHLRumors.com transcription

“People are always wondering about Calgary. They made the Rasmus Anderson deal. Is there more coming? As far as I can tell right now, it’s slow around the Flames. Not for lack of interest to do things. I just think that Anderson was the big one they had to do, and things have just quieted down for a little bit.”

The asking prices are huge for some St. Louis Blues players

Sportsnet: Elliotte Friedman on Saturday Headlines on the St. Louis Blues.

“You mentioned the St. Louis one. St. Louis is definitely, and everybody talks about who’s talking. The Blues are a team, but the prices are huge for those guys. All that you’ve mentioned (Robert Thomas, Justin Faulk, Jordan Kyrou).

That, you know, you look at what Anderson just got traded for, I think the Blues are kind of looking at something like that with Faulk, who’s an older player with a bit of term. So there’s, there’s, it’s tough to make a deal with them, even though they are willing.”

Why some teams may wait to make a trade

Sportsnet: Elliotte Friedman on Saturday Headlines on why some teams may not be in a rush to make a move before the Olympic break.

“I think one of the things that’s going on right now, it’s kind of funny, is that some teams want to make trades before the Olympic break, but there’s other teams are saying, ‘Qhy would I want to pay a guy a few $100,000 to lie on a beach? I’d rather make the trade after the Olympic break.’ So there’s some of that going around.
