Friedman was spitballing on 960 this morning on my drive to Lethbridge.
- Calgary will move Wideman if they can. He thinks that there should be a market, just because veteran D always have some kind of a market. That being said, he does come with baggage (ref blindsiding baggage).
- Thinks that Burrows would be an excellent fit for Calgary. Might be a hard move just because of who Burrows is, and the two teams trading. The morning team joked that we need to look through how many Weisbrod guys we have left
- Bishop would be open to a trade, and open to signing. He's already been connected to Calgary; but wonders about his health. Says that GMs know about his health issues and that may scare some guys away.
- Shattenkirk return will be underwhelming because he's thought to have New York and Boston on the mind. He's turned down 3 trade/signs already, and the thought is that Boston or New York won't move assets when they have the opportunity to sign him in the offseason for free.
- Knows Tre has a lot of irons in the fire; of course he can't confirm it because Calgary runs a ridiculously tight ship. If Calgary wins out before the deadline, they'll go buy mode.
I still think Calgary will get one more offensive piece before everything is said and done. I'm not sure if Steeger fits into the plans, and if BT will move him if he can acquire another decent piece.
