The vultures are beginning to circle this Calgary Flames team that, despite earning two points in Thursday night’s duel with the San Jose Sharks, still sits at the bottom of the standings with a 5-12-2 record.
Trade rumours have surrounded the Flames ever since they stumbled out of the blocks early on this season. Now, nearly a quarter of the way through the year, a new name has emerged.
On Thursday evening, TSN’s Pierre LeBrun reported on their Insider Trading segment that the player the Flames have received the most trade interest in is Blake Coleman.
“I was surprised to find out that the name that the Flames have actually gotten the most calls on so far this year is Blake Coleman. Not surprised because he’s not a good player, absolutely he is, but I also know that the Flames absolutely love his character. I think he’s a huge leader in that room, and frankly, they’re not shopping Coleman. What’s happened is that a number of teams have checked in with GM Craig Conroy and said, ‘If you ever get there closer to March 6, we’d love to have a chance to acquire Coleman.’”
As far as we know, the only player the Flames are willing to move out is pending UFA Rasmus Andersson, but that hasn’t stopped teams from calling about other players as well.
The report comes as a bit of a surprise; multiple Flames, namely Andersson and Nazem Kadri, have been the subject of trade rumours in the young season, but until now, there has been no mention of Coleman, who is under contract through next season and has a modified no-trade list.
LeBrun made it clear that the Flames are not currently shopping Coleman.
Based on the report, these calls have been more of the ‘kicking tires’ nature, rather than teams actually proposing offers for the fifth-year Flame. It seems other general managers are eager to express their interest in the 33-year-old, in case the Flames’ brass changes their minds and make him available down the road.
It’s unclear what Calgary would desire in return for Coleman, should they make him available, but it is clear that there would be a market for him.
Coleman, a two-time Stanley Cup Champion with the Tampa Bay Lightning, signed with Calgary in July 2021. He has 172 points in 342 games as a Flame.
