TBQH I don't think the Flames organization is going to have a problem with contract space this season.
If we look at it this way and take a ballpark guess at who won't be here next season, we see likes of these players coming off of the Flames books:
Modin
Morrison
Staios
Pardy
Chucko
Meyers
Carpentier
Kronwall
Cunning
Conroy
Keetley
That's 11 contracts gone or only 39 contracts.
I think we still have room for Pelech because I see fewer players coming in to the organization than I see leaving. The likes of Ferland, Holland, Reinhart, and Leach don't have to be signed until the next off-season.
As for who I'd like to stick around. I wouldn't mind Stone, Cunning, Armstrong, Pelech, or Irving. I'm a little on the fence Mikkelson and Baldwin at this point.
Edit: Also, if Kotalik does decide to go to play in the KHL because the Flames don't want his services. Does that mean he comes off the books to? or is it just another Steffan Kronwall situation with a bigger cap hit?
