Calgary, AB- The Flames GM, Andrew Drummond, has let it be known that Petr Nedved may be available to the highest bidder. Here is an excerpt from his press release.
"Mr. Nedved and his agent, Mark Kopsack, and I, have had discussions about the possibility of moving him to another team. I have put out a few feelers to see what we might get in return for Petr. At this time there is no definite offers, but a few cursory inquiries. Petr may not even end up going anywhere, as he is a very good and multi-talented player who can play Centre and LW and would benefit any team, whether they are on the verge of pushing for a playoff berth or a contender already. Petr had a very good year last season, scoring 32 goals and 74 points. We would certainly not be disappointed if Petr ended up playing on the Flames for the entire upcoming season. But he is aware that if an offer comes our way to improve our team down the road, then we just might do it."
On a side note, Mr. Drummond neither confirmed or denied a rumour that they have acquired from Ottawa, a player in their system that has a lot of talent, but has been unable to put it altogether.
