Calgary Flames: Why Trading for Alexander Ovechkin Makes Sense

It is no secret that the Calgary Flames are looking to improve. Despite being swept in the first round of the playoffs, the Flames need to add some size up front in order to compete with the heavier teams in the Western Conference. Anaheim has been Calgary’s kryptonite over the course of the past decade or so. St. Louis has been a difficult team for the Calgary Flames to matchup against as well. A mixture of size and skill and speed is going to help this team move the needle from playoff contender to Stanley Cup contender.
