At the trade deadline, the Flames saw they had a problem they needed to rectify. The team has very few right shots, and no right-shot centres. Catching wind that they would be able to pick one up for the Ottawa Senators, they took the plunge, trading a second round pick seventh round pick for Curtis Lazar Nick Shore.
Oh. Um. Whoops.
Deja vu
The Flames are a team with very few right-shot forwards on the roster. They have Troy Brouwer, Garnet Hathaway, the corpse of Kris Versteeg that they are well on their way to reanimating, and that’s about it: nobody particularly inspiring, and certainly nobody who belongs in a top six role.
