It's been 10 games since the Calgary Flames waved the proverbial white flag at the National Hockey League's trade deadline, trading Kris Russell and David Jones (and prior to that Markus Granlund and Jiri Hudler) and loading up on picks and prospects.

THE HIGH-LEVEL NUMBERS
Standings-wise, the Flames are 4-4-2 - exactly .500 - through the 10 games. Their power-play has scored on 14.
