So a bit of info. A media type here in Calgary is doing a Fan Opinion show and he's been asking some of the Flames faithful to come infront of Cameras and give our thoughts on where the Flames are, where they are headed and what we think should be done.
One of the questions involves player movement, and I can only see one viable trade for the Flames. I just honestly don't know if it's fair to both teams so here I am asking for honest feedback and perhaps you guys and ladies can make this proposal a bit more solid.
So here it is:
To Jersey: Miikka Kipprusoff, and a 2nd round pick 2012
To Calgary: Cam Janssen, Danius Zubrus and a late 1st round.
Please don't flame (haha little pun) me on this I honestly don't know if this is fair value or not. Give me your thoughts. I am also assuming that Broduer is done this year.

after brodeur, the devils need to get younger in net. why would they make a deal for kiprusoff who's almost 36? makes no sense.
I'm a BIG fan of Kipper, but at his age I don't know if it's worth it especially not if Marty isn't retired, and at Kipper's cap hit.
If Kipper was 2 years younger even, and Marty was definitely gone I wouldn't mind working something out.
Like I said I'm a BIG fan of Kipper. In fact when I saw the proposal I was hoping to see Kipper involved in it.
The NHL penalized us for the Kovy contract, and we are being forced to forfeit a first round draft pick in the next 4 years or something I think it was, and whatever year of our choice. It will probably be this year since we will be drawing in the bottom 4. Hopefully it will be forfeited this year.
Devils really can't afford to give up a 1st with us most likely losing ours this year and I think they are going to give the prospects a chance in net. That said, not a horrible trade and please take Cam even though he's a FA come July. And thanks for taking PL3

devs owe a bettman pick in the first round why would they give up another for kipper.
im sure the majority of the answers will be similar
Not a chance in hell. Our first this year is being forfeited so it isn't available. Zubrus is too important a piece, and an aging Kiprusoff isn't worth that.

Cam is a UFA so take Boulton PLZ! Got one more year on his contract!
I really do like Miikka Kiprusoff. One of the most underrated goaltenders in the league. Wish he were younger.
I've talked about the goaltending issue a lot recently, and unless we get a prospect or trade for someone else's prospect I don't see us getting a franchise goaltender for years.
We could make a run at Carey Price, or Cam Ward as others have suggested down the road. I think when Marty is gone we might see someone like Theodore, or Kiprusoff or Nittymaki for a year or two before we find a long term solution. Not neccessarily those names, but in that class of guys.
Until next Summer. So only one more season. We have a lot of UFA's in 2013. Zubrus, Zajac, Elias, Clarkson, Zidlicky. Henrique, and Tedenby, and Josefson RFA's I believe.
Just realised that the reason we are getting this proposal today is because fans of 26 other teams are in offseason mode. This makes me feel very good.

Man, would love to see Cam Ward in a Devils jersey.
I think you could do better imo by a desperate team. Hopefully that is not us.
Tampa Bay is what I'm thinking. They could use goaltending if not for a short term solution, but that isn't their biggest problem I don't think. Have you ever seen how long it takes them to get out of their own end? It's easy to think it's exclusively goaltending when the options are only a 42 year old, and a career backup playing a starter, but they need some upgrades big time, and goaltending is just the first.
Groovy! Thank you for your input everyone. Maybe I'll ask if Tampa is willing to part with Conolly and Hedman for Miikka.
I really do appriciate your help on this.
Cheers, and luck to you in the Eastern finals. (I'm on the Kings Bandwagon this year)
Thanks! And I don't know about Tampa, but it's worth a shot! With the Lightning being my home team I know a lot of fans are in a what to do mode. Not over on their board cause I don't read it, but the people I know in person.
