Last season, when the Flames were looking for much needed fourth line scoring (isn't that always the story) the likes of Mike Smith were kept around, and two point producers in the Quad City AHL affiliate were kept below. Not much has been written on why the Flames...
Mostly the interest surrounds his a) move from rival Canucks (you rarely see high profile players move between rival teams...only say the likes of Glencross....no pot shot to him,) and b) his continuing saga re: problems with lawsuits. Yahoo says fair game any...

Goodbye Owen Nolan, Hello Todd Bertuzzi Turns out Daryl Sutter was serious when he said all he wanted was a one-year deal. Only thing was, he lost Nolan to the Wild, but he got another power forward vet. Only thing--it's Todd Bertuzzi....one year deal worth just under...
And now it seems Calgary is suddenly in a 'rebuilding' stage. First Tanguay, then Huselius, and now Nolan, all gone--basically the entire second line. The replacements? Rene Bourque, Mike Cammalleri, ?. Owen Nolan tonight signed a two year deal that he was seeking,...
Peter and Jim Vandermeer, Curtis Glencross Arrive to Flames The rumors are true, Curtis Glencross arrives from Edmonton, so let the trash talking begin. Also the fist void has been somewhat answered in two other signings. No contract details yet, but we can be sure...
