What about someone like Bickell, playoff performer and he's large 6'4. However he's over paid at 4m and is a LW'er and signed for couple more years.

Last thing we need is another LW. We have no space for him this year, let alone for the next 2 years. If we we sell cap space by making a move for an overpaid player it will be one with no more than 1 more year left on their deal IMO and someone that will still be useful to this franchise.I kinda already the gave reasons, as well as the deterrent(s).
Buying a pending UFA costs too much, The Avs aren't in need of cap relief.Daniel Briere? Right handed center, playoff performer. NTC though. 4m UFA after this year.
Johnny, we have to stay the course. If we are going to make any trades, they are trades for young guys or players that are going to benefit us for the future.

Penner's LH though.
Avs have 1.6 million to spend at the deadline but also have extra players on the roster (28 currently), so they aren't in cap trouble and aren't in a position to add guys for a push. With 9.5 million coming off the books in Briere, Wilson & Hejda this summer they are sitting pretty IMO.Alright. I put them out as potential buy lows. There solid Veterans for a potential play off push.
I would have thought the Avs need cap space.
Why? Playoffs or not we are rebuilding. You don't move a prospect for a pending UFA, that is poor asset management. Especially for a player like Stewart who has questionable work ethic.Then Chris Stewart is my suggestion. Stewart for Max Reinhart?

Agreed.Really don't see the urgency or need to give up any kind of assets for mediocre UFA's. The Flames are not cup contenders yet.
And Stewart's a slightly better Rene Bourque. His effort level, or rather lack thereof, wouldn't work here.

I dont really want to make a trade, I would be just as happy to just keep our roster if our rookies are still killing it by the deadline. I am just trying to make a suggestion to GODreau that I wouldn't lose sleep over.
the only trade the flames should be looking at is to upgrade there d. Not an older d man but swaping one our young forwards for a young d man. Other then that you ride this season out. If we make playoffs great, if not it will still be a great season.
I wouldn't mind Nolan from the Kings. He'd make a much better 3/4th line scrapper than Bollig. He actually skates really well (for his role).
I think at this point we just ride the wave and see if any young/good RW/D become available... If not, Draft/FA after that.
