Corban Knight - C - Flames

Florida Panthers trade Corban Knight to Calgary Flames for 2013 fourth-round pick.

Knight was Florida's fifth-round pick in 2009, but the Panthers had difficulty signing the University of North Dakota product and chose to get something for him before Knight became a free agent. Knight had 16 goals, 49 points and 40 penalty minutes in 41 games this season for North Dakota.

Karri Ramo - G - Flames

Flames general manager Jay Feaster has yet to acknowledge coming to terms on a contract with Finnish goalie Karri Ramo.

Reports have indicated that Ramo inked an NHL deal, but Feaster really can't comment until deals can become official July 5. "I can’t say anything about Ramo," said Feaster, "other than the fact that we’ve obviously had conversations with his agent. He wants to come over. July 5 is when, under the rules, we’re allowed to sign him. I’m optimistic about that."

Miikka Kiprusoff - G - Flames

There has been no indication from Miikka Kiprusoff that he will retire this offseason.

The 36-year-old has a year left at $1.5 million on his contract, and many expect him to hang up his skates this summer. But Flames general manager has yet to receive word from the netminder. "I talked with him just this week," said Feaster. "and we made sure he knows that we will wait for him to be sure about what he wants to do."

Bob Hartley - C - Flames

Flames general manager Jay Feaster realizes there is no "quick fix" to becoming a great team.

Feaster understands that after finishing last a year ago and 25th this season, his team is in total rebuild mode. "I don’t think there’s a quick fix," Feaster said. "The fact of the matter is, we have to do a better job as an organization in drafting. There’s not enough players that are pushing through right now. We have to do a better job of developing players. ... And we have to continue to add assets. We can’t keep trading away high draft picks and trying for that solution that gets us into the playoffs ... at the expense of the foundation."

Bob Hartley - C - Flames

The 2013 draft is considered the "most important in Flames' history."

Dubbed so by the Calgary Sun, this is a crucial juncture for the Flames because they are in a rebuild and have three first-round picks. It's quite odd, then, that there was a report that they wanted to trade all three of their first-rounders (Nos. 6, 22, 28) to the Avalanche for their first-overall pick. Calgary has the ability to do some damage in this draft and infuse some more high-end youth into the organization.

Bob Hartley - C - Flames

The Calgary Flames will not be using either of their compliance buyouts this summer, according to GM Jay Feaster.

As per the new CBA, teams are allowed to buyout two contracts over the next two summers through this method. The compliance buyouts are unique because they take the player's entire cap hit off the books. For now, the Flames are pretty healthy from a cap perspective, so we can understand why they don't feel any urgency to take advantage of this option.

Karri Ramo - G - Flames

Karri Ramo and the Calgary Flames have reportedly agreed on a multi-year contract.

The deal cannot be made official until July 5. Ramo has spent the past four seasons in the KHL with Omsk, where he had a 26-9-5 record with a 2.00 GAA and a .929 save percentage during the 2012-13 campaign. If Miikka Kiprusoff retires then there's a chance Ramo could end up as Calgary's number one goaltender next year.

Anton Babchuk - D - Flames

Anton Babchuk has agreed to terms on a contract with Salavat of the Kontinental Hockey League, the club's GM tells Sports.ru's Igor Eronko.

Babchuk had one assist in seven games with the Flames this season and is a long way from fantasy relevance. Terms of the contract weren't immediately available, but chances are Babchuk got a much better payday to return home than he would have in the NHL.

Bob Hartley - C - Flames

Calgary Flames bench boss Bob Hartley thinks Patrick Roy will be a great head coach for the Colorado Avalanche.

Hartley was Roy's coach in Colorado when the team won the Stanley Cup in 2000-01. "Patrick is a relentless worker. He’s passionate. He wants to win," Hartley said. "He’s one of the most fiery guys that I’ve coached. When you talk about passion and when you talk about fire in his eyes, there’s nobody that comes very close to Patrick. Practices, games, everywhere … Patrick would always be right at the top. I’ve never seen Patrick take an easy day when I was around him. He’s a very proud man, a very proud athlete, and that’s what made him special." Hartley added that he's remained closer to Roy than any of his other former players. The first game between the Flames and Avalanche in 2013-14 should be fun to watch.

Roman Cervenka - W - Flames

With Roman Cervenka reportedly heading back to the KHL for the 2013-14 campaign, the experiment is over.

The Calgary Flames took a chance on Cervenka after he dominated in the KHL, but he was never able to adjust to playing in North America. That being said, his tenure with the Flames wasn't disastrous. In fact, with nine goals and 17 points in 39 games, he probably would have gotten another shot with the Flames or a different NHL team if that's what he wanted. At the same time, he highlights the risk associated with grabbing mid-20s European star that has no prior North American experience. Sometimes it works out, but drafting a player in a fantasy league with those credentials is a roll of the dice.
