I mean, it's all around Rasmus Andersen, and then it shifts to Nazem Khadri.
And I'm going to talk a little bit about Blake Coleman on Insider Trading because you can appreciate why a number of teams are calling on Blake Coleman.
I mean, he's a good player.
He's got the pedigree of a champion.
The problem is he's a high-character guy that the Flames value, and they might need to keep around.
I mean, he can't sell off everything in their situation.
So I think one of those teams, St.
Louis, Vancouver, Calgary, I think one of those three will probably be the first to make a splash and go from there.
Yeah, I mean, Pierre's talked about this, and I'm sure that they are one of the teams that have that appreciation for Blake Coleman, right?
But are you willing to overpay?
Are you willing to pay a premium to get that piece?
Because that's what it's going to take for Craig Conroy to consider it.
They'd like some help up the middle of the ice.
You know, is it even possible that they look at an Azam Khadri with the Calgary Flames, right?
The market is thin at center ice.
It is, especially when you're looking for guys who can comfortably play number two.
Kent Hughes has been looking for those type of players for months, for months, and he has the assets.
I mean, they've got a good young prospect pool that they can dip into, but, you know, you can't be crazy either.
Just because you have a want and you have the assets doesn't mean you have to overpay, but I can see Montreal being active soon.
It was an interesting trip.
