Trade rumours about the Calgary Flames have been coming fast and furious recently.
Every day the Flames remain outside the playoff picture between now and the April 3 NHL trade deadline, those rumours -- some making sense and some outright fantasy -- will become louder.
After all, with an aging team that includes a pending unrestricted free-agent in star captain Jarome Iginla and a goalie in Miikka Kiprusoff with one more year on his contract, the obvious play for the Flames is to sell like a stock broker watching the market crash.
"They've been talking about it for three years," forward Alex Tanguay said of the rumour-mongers across the hockey world insisting it's time to gut the Flames. "Yeah, it's on the back of your mind, but I want to make the playoffs here. I haven't made the playoffs for three years."
