Based on the bodies, I think we will either only sign one of Versteeg, Chiasson, or other forward UFA or Jankowski gets bumped out to become the first call up (which is ok by me I like high potential depth players in the AHL). Either that or some bodies need to move out in a trade whereby less NHL roster players come back than go out.

Thing is, who would move out - Bouma, Stajan, Brouwer? Maybe with such a lacklustre UFA crop there will be a taker for Brouwer but I'm not so sure that the Flames are so eager to move him as some of us fans.
