CALGARY - The Calgary Flames were sellers heading into Wednesdays NHL trade deadline, but buyers had yet to open their wallets a day out. The showiest items on Calgarys lot were forwards Mike Cammalleri and Lee Stempniak. Both will be unrestricted free agents this summer. Interim general manager Brian Burkes theory for slow business was shoppers were temporarily preoccupied elsewhere. Other forwards said to be on the market were New York Rangers captain Ryan Callahan, Vancouver Canucks forward Ryan Kesler, Matt Moulson of the Buffalo Sabres, Ales Hemsky of the Edmonton Oilers and Thomas Vanek of the Buffalo Sabres. "I think theres a logjam thats been presented or created by two, three, four players thats going to paralyze the rest of the league," Burke told reporters Tuesday at Scotiabank Saddledome. "Youll see other deals happening but I think the hold up for a high-end forward has kind been captivated by two, three, four players. "I think were on the backburner for a lot of teams right now. Doesnt mean nothing is going to happen, but thats where we are today. "Weve been in discussions with every team in the league and what theyre trying to do. We have some unrestricted free agents we will move if the price is right. Im not close on anything that makes sense for us." Trade speculation in Calgary has centred on Cammalleri, but with a record of 23-31-7 and destined for a fifth straight season out of the playoffs, the only Flames that Burke considered off limits were captain Mark Giordano and rookie sensation Sean Monahan. "When youre in the place we are in the standings, your list of untouchables should be either nonexistent or tiny," Burke said. Burke, the Flames president of hockey operations, stepped in as interim GM when he fired Jay Feaster on Dec. 12. He intends to hire a new GM. But Burkes mandate is to speed up Calgarys rebuild by whatever means necessary: trades, spending to the cap or the signing of free agents. "You cant be waiting for the next guy," Burke said. "Were going to do what we can to improve. If that means theres a few less decisions for the new guy, thats fine. "The dynamic of the trade deadline is, you want to show your players first and foremost, if youre close, you want the room to feel youve done something to add. You want the players to believe management is trying to make the team better." Only the Buffalo Sabres have scored fewer goals than Calgary in the NHL this season, but upgrades are needed both up front and on the blue-line. Cammalleri, 31, scored 39 goals and had 43 assists as a Flame and a linemate of Jarome Iginla in 2008-09. Cammalleri is in the final year of a five-year contract paying him $6 million annually. With the right linemates, Cammalleris offensive skills and experience make him an attractive rental for a playoff push. "Things change very quickly in the business," Cammalleri said. "When it comes to that, I think you understand why certain things take place and why they might be thinking along certain lines. "I feel my best hockey is ahead of me and I feel great about my game. Whether its here, or whatever happens, Im not concerned about my ability to help my team out." Stempniak, also 31, is in the second year of a two-year deal that counts $2.5 million against the salary cap. He has eight goals and 15 assists in 52 games this season. His wife gave birth to twin girls following the Olympic break and he could be on the move Wednesday. "I know thats a very likely possibility and have sort of braced myself for that," Stempniak said. "Ill either get a phone call or I wont get a phone call. "It could be two big life changes in the span of five days, but its part of the business. Thankfully on the family front, everything is going well there and everyone is healthy. Thats the most important thing. Whatever else happens, you think you can deal with it." Defenceman Chris Butler, whose salary is $1.7 million this season, is also scheduled for unrestricted free agency in July. Burke said he prefers adding a player who can upgrade the Flames immediately over acquiring draft picks. Calgary has a healthy dose of cap space to take on unwanted contracts as part of a deal as well. "I hope to be up here in a year talking about buying players, not selling players. Were selling," Burke said. "That being said, if we can salvage a hockey deal out of this were going to do that. "If we can turn our cap space into assets were going to do that. It could be a very important day for the franchise, the next 24 hours, but its not the same as when youre adding to try to make a push." The Flames host the Ottawa Senators on Wednesday. Coach Bob Hartley said Joni Ortio will get the start in net. Ortio was called up from Abbotsford, B.C., when goaltender Karri Ramo injured his knee Feb. 2.

The 17-year-old made headlines and raised expectations sky-high on both sides of the Atlantic with a brilliant performance in the European victory Sunday at the Solheim Cup in Denver. But Hull says nothing has changed. "Ive always aimed high, so Im not really bothered by anyones expectations. Its what I think and what I want to do," said the five-foot-six golfer from Kettering, England, prior to hitting the driving range at the Royal Mayfair Golf Club to prepare for the CN Canadian Womens Open. Hull, the youngest ever to play in the Solheim Cup, racked up an impressive 2-1-0 record and took apart American Paula Creamer 5 and 4 in Sundays singles. "I didnt feel it (the pressure) as much as I thought I would. I felt like it was just another game of golf, you know," said Hull. "The crowds were really, really big. People can find them intimidating, so I just kind of tried to trick my mind (to shut the crowds out) and go out and play my own game." Hull, who turned pro in March, will play in Edmonton as a sponsor exemption, but has already received permission from the LPGA to play on tour before she turns 18. Shell participate in the second stage of Q-school in October, and if all goes well she will be on tour starting Jan. 1. She has already been tearing up the courses so far on the Ladies European tour, with five runner-up finishes -- but says she wants to tee it up with the best. "I want to get on the LPGA," she said. "Everything seems bigger. The players are better. Its just playing in front of bigger crowds more, so its more fun." Hull has already made an impression by not standing out. She has not courted sponsors in order to avoid distractions. Her red and black Titleist golf bag is a monument to minimalism. Aside from her name, there is little to distinguish it -- no puppet heads or cutesy club covers ("Thats not me," she said.) The only personalized item is a fist-sized stuffed heart hanginng on the side done up in the flag of Great Britain.dddddddddddd Does it have special meaning? Sort of. "My friend gave it to me, so I thought rather than just put it in the (rubbish) bin, Ill put in on the golf bag," she said. How about the Yankees hat? Big fan of Americas iconic sports franchise? No, she said, its just something she picked up in England. "I wear this hat because its more comfortable on my head than the other hats. I dont even know what the (NY) symbol means." Hull is already known for her plain speaking. Recently she said its "silly" for some golf courses to have male-members-only policies, adding, "We are all equals and should be treated as such." Hulls father, David, said she got some of that from him. "Ive always brought her up to tell the truth, and be honest," he said. "I think thats what people should do in life. Say what you see." David, with Charley in Edmonton, said he could see early on that his daughter was wired into golf. "When she was four she just picked it up. She was so gifted. A natural, the way she could hit a golf ball," he said. "I could show you a video of her swing when she was seven. Her swing was pretty similar (to what it is now). "She could use her hands. (The club) seemed to be a part of her. It was strange." It wasnt in the genes, he added. "I didnt start playing golf till I was 45. It doesnt come from me." He said his daughter practises six hours a day and is always about the challenge: challenging the field, challenging herself. "When she was little they used to say Oh, youre a girl, you have to play off the ladies tees, he said. "She would say, I dont want to do that. Im playing with the boys. I want to challenge them. So they let her play off the back tees with the boys." Thats why the LPGA is the next step. "Theres a lot more competition here," he said, "If she wants to get better thats what she wants, so Ill have to come with her until shes 18. "Ill babysit her," he laughed.
