Here's a brief and painful analysis of the Flames from the former sports writer for the Herald, Eric Duhatschek: Quote:
From Thursday's Globe and Mail
Published on Wednesday, Jun. 23, 2010 6:48PM EDT
Last updated on Wednesday, Jun. 23, 2010 7:04PM EDT
Calgary Flames
Game plan: General manager Darryl Sutter’s pattern is to make a splash at every entry draft – Jay Bouwmeester arrived last year, Michael Cammalleri the year before – but he is desperately short of trade bait, given how he gave away Dion Phaneuf and has no first- or second-round choice Friday, as a result of previous trades. Sutter’s machinations always provide great theatre; and his tendency to take on contracts deemed too expensive by other teams means his cell phone batteries will get a work out from hopeful teams looking to dump salary. Calgary needs a back-up goalie; more scoring; a bona fide No. 1 centre; and faces salary-cap issues. Short of mortgaging the future even further by peddling next year’s top pick, the Flames’ options are limited. They look poised for that slow steady decline into mediocrity – if they aren’t there already.
Missing picks: 1st round, 13th overall (to Phoenix for Olli Jokinen); 2nd round, 43rd overall (optional to Chicago for Rene Bourque); 3rd round, 73rd overall (optional to Edmonton for Steve Staois).
Extra picks: 3rd round, 64th overall (from Columbus for Anton Stralman).
Eric Duhatschek

If it is Ballard for Bernier and 1st, I could definitely live with that. Bernier is obviously expendable with the depth of wingers we have in our system, and it gets his 2 million salary off the table.
4.2 million is quite high for Ballard, and it is long term, becoming our highest paid D-Man I believe? But if he pans out in Vancouver, it will be well worth it as he is just reaching his prime.
