The main reason in my mind that the Flames would pick up Jarome is the toughness he brings into the line up. He still has it and the willingness to stick up for his teammates. Any thing else would be gravy.
As long as there is an understanding with him coming here means he may be the 13th forward for portions of the season, whether performance based or scheduled rest. I think his role needs to be clearly defined so things don't backfire if a younger player breaks out.
