Given the lack of contract space, the flames should not be handing out contracts to mediocre AHL guys. Better to save the space for younger and higher profile college free agents later.
At this point, I'd rather see Breen get regular call ups than signing a guy like McCarthy. I'd rather live with the rookie gaffs of Breen and bet on his potential then sign a guy who has already plateaued.

McCarthy's weakness is definitely his footspeed. It's the reason why he's been a tweener. I'd be surprised if the Flames signed him to an NHL deal. Agree on giving Breen a chance over McCarthy if it came to that.
