The Calgary Flames made another big move at the trade deadline, sending center, nasim cadre to Colorado for picks and prospects. This comes after trading defensemen Rasmus Anderson to Vegas in January and Mackenzie Wigar to Utah earlier this week. It's the 10th veteran dealt by General Manager Craig Conroy since he took over. A year ago, the Flames stood pat at the deadline while pushing for playoffs, but they missed out on tiebreakers. This season has been tough, with the team shipping out three alternate captains and focusing on a full roster rebuild. Conroy told reporters, he's hopeful this marks the turning point, aiming to stop pile assets for a quick return to contention. He stressed patience, saying the goal is sustainable success, not shortcuts, especially with a new arena on the horizon. In return, the Flames added veterans Ryan Strohm from Anaheim and Victor O'Lawson from

Meanwhile, the Flames balanced short-term needs with long-term growth under Conroy's plan. They faced the Carolina Hurricanes at home on Saturday night. This story is made possible by our sponsor.
