When it comes to big names, a quiet trade deadline is likely Calgary’s best option

The April 12 trade deadline is less than three weeks away and the playoff math continues to look bad for the Flames. Monday’s 2-1 loss in Ottawa was another setback on an already difficult uphill climb and didn’t inspire a ton of confidence this group is ready to go on a run. The deadline has typically been quiet under general manager Brad Treliving and this feels like a good year to continue that trend.

Why shouldn’t they buy?

Calgary has a glaring need for a top six right winger and there are tantalizing options out there.
