Poile may be, I hope, smarter than we think. MT has announced he is not returning to the Flames. They must trade him or go through an arbitration, after which others may claim him at the mediation number. That is how we wound up with J.P. Dumont a few years ago. He is 24 years old and had 42 goals and 104 points last year. If David pulls this off, we are a contender.
