The Daily: Flames NHL Trade Still Possible, Pasta Wants to Stay in Boston

Calgary Flames this week

• The Flames rebounded nicely and new defenceman MacKenzie Weegar has gone as far as saying the Flames are even better than his former team. Cue the Florida Panthers rivalry with Tkachuk.

• An interesting element of all that is that the Flames aren’t even done shopping. Watch for another dive into the NHL trade market. After adding Johnny Huberdeau and Nazem Kadri up front, they could use another scoring winger to compete with the kids. “We’re probably still looking up front,” Treliving told Drance in Penticton. “Not only to figure out who is playing with who, but we’re still in the market for forward additions.”

• Is the signing of Michael Stone to a PTO a sign of an impending trade for the Calgary Flames?
  
• The Young Stars prospects tournament starts tonight and you can watch online. Pay close attention to Jakob Pelletier.
