Report: Calgary Flames willing to trade three first-round picks for the top overall pick
It's no surprise that the Calgary Flames want to shake up their roster. This point was made clear prior to the 2013 trade deadline when the Flames dealt Jarome Iginla to the Pittsburgh Penguins and Jay Bouwmeester to the St. Louis Blues. Add in speculation that Miikka Kiprusoff is preparing to retire and you have a franchise ready to take on a new identity.

Firstly, I’d like to apologize for the lack of content over the past month as many of you are aware I took a new role in my business which has been taking all my time and energy...
Draft allows Calgary Flames to retool quickly
The Calgary Flames earned the sixth overall pick in the NHL draft by playing poorly this season. They added first-round picks from St. Louis (in the Jay Bouwmeester trade) and Pittsburgh (via the Jarome Iginla deal).
Scoring an elite prospect with their first pick shouldn't be hard, given the quality at the top of this draft. But the draft offers some depth, too, so the Flames...

Cody Eakin’s Hit on Matt Stajan ‘One of the Dirtiest Hits’ Bob Hartley Has Ever Seen (Video)
A head coach will stick up for his player 999 times out of 1,000, but Flames head coach Bob Hartley might want to watch game film before making crazy accusations.
On Monday night, Cody Eakin caught Matt Stajan with his head down in the neutral zone — kind of. At first glance, the hit looked pretty dirty, but as Yahoo! Sports’ Puck Daddy points out, maybe it’s worth a second...
