FlamesNation Mailbag: talking trades, targets, and trade targets

The All-Star Break is behind us. The trade deadline is just six short weeks away. The Calgary Flames are in a playoff spot.

Let’s dive into the mailbag, pals!

A healthy Monahan or Backlund who would you prefer to move to make cap space for #13, 19, 88, 58? Who would be easier to move caveat being Monahan is looking healthier now.
