“People are always curious about Calgary. They did the Rasmus Anderson deal. Is there more to come? From what I can tell right now, things are moving slowly around the Flames.

Sportsnet: Elliotte Friedman on Saturday headlines about the St. Louis Blues.
“You mentioned the one from St. Louis. St. Louis certainly is, and everyone talks about who’s talking. The Blues are a team, but the awards are huge for those guys. Everything you mentioned (Robert Thomas, Justin Faulk, Jordan Kyrou).
That, you know, if you look at what Anderson just got traded for, I think the Blues are kind of looking at something like that with Faulk, an older player with some sense. So there is, there is, it is difficult to make a deal with them even if they are willing.”

Sportsnet: Elliotte Friedman on Saturday Key points on why some teams may be in no rush to make a move before the Olympic break.
“I think one of the things that’s going on right now, which is kind of funny, is that some teams want to trade before the Olympic break, while other teams say, ‘Why would I want to pay someone a couple hundred thousand dollars to lie on a beach? I’d rather do the trade after the Olympic break.’ So something is going around.
