The trade deadline is almost upon us and with that comes the usual speculation about what assets the Calgary Flames may move before the clock strikes 1 p.m. MT on March 1.
They already made some moves involving futures when they acquired Michael Stone. But for a few key reasons, I really doubt that the Flames will be shipping out any top prospects or more of their draft picks in an effort to get into the playoffs this year.
