Gio goes under the knife... out long term

The best one obviously would be Stralman who doesn't seem to be a favorite of Wilson. If he could be had for a reasonably cheap price, he's the one we need.

Would you send Keith Aulie(6) & Pic for Stralman(8)?

Aulie (although rated much lower) seems to be more of a Burke player.

If I was in a position to make trades I would do that and then I would plead guilty to first degree robbery.

I suspect he would only cost about a 3rd.

Heard on the radio (fan960) that we don't have a 2nd or a 3rd pick.

According to this page, we still have Montreal's second round pick:

You are almost right. According to the same page, it is the Flames' decision not Chicago's.

that same page also can't figure out if Philly traded Calgary's or their own draft pick to Edmonton in the Lupul trade... despite the fact the Lupul trade happened nearly 8 months prior to the Vandermeer trade... looks like a source of higher intelligence to me
