I hope something does get done before the season is over as the last thing we would want is to have someone crazy offer him 5 or even 5.5 and we would have to match it or just let him go

they havent gone far since the lockout | hey, if your pulling out the statistics...we've won a stanley cup...and out of us and you...we have made it to the final dance most recently...kudos for trying though  
as to why i am a flames fan:
i was a canucks fan back in the day of the laser skate...i was born in edmonton, only lived in alberta for a year...lived in bc pretty much my whole life(vancouver for 8 years)...kamloops(14yrs) mostly, home of the kamloops blazers(iggy, regher)...followed the talent...plus i like being the devils advocate to all my friends(nucklehead fans)
plus havent been a fan of the roster of the canucks for many years...

For those of you that want the article http://tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=308648 Quote:
While it took some time, in the end the Calgary Flames finally got their men as the 'on again, off again' trade between the Flames and New York Rangers has been official after a trade call was made following Calgary's loss to the Flyers on Monday.
The deal, which sees Olli Jokinen and Brandon Prust heading to Manhattan in exchange for Chris Higgins and Ales Kotalik, was reportedly held up because the Flames wanted Jokinen in the lineup for tonight's game against the Flyers. Jokinen played just over 15 minutes, took three shots on net and finished at a minus-one. Prust skated just over seven minutes.
There had also been reports that Kotalik was not prepared to waive his no-trade clause to go to Calgary; however earlier in the day he reportedly changed his stance to accept the move.

Good move by the Flames to get rid of Jokinen. Like I said before, this guy is a cancer and on paper it looks like the Flames are in decent shape going forward and should be able to make it into the playoffs.

Kotalik and Higgins are GARBAGE and Kotalik is signed for 2 more years at 3mil/year! LOL Not to mention Kotalik doesn't even want to be in Calgary and had to waive his NTC (of which Calgary was one of 3 cities listed).
Nobody else in the league would take him for free, let along trade a 50+ pt guy for him, regardless of how overpaid he is.
Flames are going down in flames

Hats off to the guy for coming in here and believing in his team.
Some of my colleagues are die hard leafs fans. It's good to see people supporting their team with passion. That's what being a fan is all about.

At the very least Tegra Devil is a true hometown fan. Not a bunch of bandwagoners like we got.

Flames are going down in flames | Well look at what they traded; did you really expect much for Jokinen? I think the Flames are glad they got something for him and not some minor leaguers. And I think there is potential to turn the team around offensively with the players they got. I can't see the Flames been worse off by trading the players they traded off, it can only get worse or get better from this point on.

Kotalik has been watching from the pressbox (healthy scratch) more often than not in the past few weeks. Possibly the worst contract in the league. Did you see all their new offense tonight? It helped them get 15 shots and 0 goals.

I think the flames havent gotten themselves alot of hit or miss type players in there Lineup. Looking at there forwards ud think they have absolutely no problem scoring goals.
Bourque - Langkow - Iglinla
Hagman - Stajan - Dawes
Higgins - Conroy - Kotalik
Moss - Boyd - Nystrom
i know theses arent the actual lineup but, on paper these guys looks really good. no excuses for these guys, they definately have the talent up front. time for them to get the chemistry going
