Sutter admitted in the Press conference today how this trade compleatly fell in his lap. It`s a very strange trade for Colorado to whip up out of no where, especially with Nycolat recently being recalled off waivers.
Jokinen may have been a really big aquisition but I really think this is a key trade, Sutter lost basically nothing in getting Leapold and gets a puck moving defencman who is proven to play well on this team. I have a feeling he`ll be thrown right in the mix on line with Phaneuf, he has all the qulities Phaneuf lacks and I think they`ll have greal chemistry.

Thats ok the flames still aren't the best team in the west and if they don't win it this year they lose Camillari
I think that's why Sutter went ahead with this deal because Cammillari wants to test the waters as a free agent and by the looks of it he will get over 6 mil next season. I'm going to miss Lombo but I still rather have the Joker.
And yes Calgary the best in the N.W. and we have a real shot at the cup.

I'm happy with this, so in the end we ended up getting Cammy for nothing.... explain
Leo for Tans
Tans for Cam
Cam +Leo
In the end we win
As much as I hate to admit it, I dont think anyone can argue that the Flames are the best in the NW right now. This is their shot. Losing Cammy will be a huge loss to the team, but as it sits right now they've got a good shot this year. I still dont put them even with Detroit or the Sharks, but they're close. And I think we've all found that anything can happen come playoff time.

Exactly, but in the end the Flames will probably lose Camilleri to free agency, unless Sutter can pull off yet another amazing signing.
I guess the important thing is he's here for the rest of this year and help the Flames odds at making a run.

Well they've proven themselves capable of beating the Sharks and Wings.

The Flames are 0-1-1 with Detriot and 2-1 with the Sharks. They've proven they can play with the Sharks, but Im not sure how losing 1 game in regulation and one in overtime is proving they can beat the Wings.

The OT loss, the Flames were all over the wings the first 55 minutes then blew their lead and lost in OT. It was their 2nd game in back to back games on the road where they had to fly from California to Michigan over night. If the Flames are on their game they can play with any other team in the league.
