We aren't going to get another forward, I could actually see us trading a forward to get another Defenseman. And I think we will need to give Gilles a shot to see what he can do, Smith was shaky when Rittich was down, and I thought Gilles should have got a game.
Neal is a big question mark right now, I figured he would have had a break out game by now. Should the Flames trade him for a good D-man or hang onto him and hope he does well in the playoffs? Neal should be able to elevate his game in the post season and provide some scoring depth.
