Turner Elson has the character potential. He could be a slow blooming NHLer. But he was just a recovery option after the Flames traded away their picks. If he pans out at all it's a bonus.
I wouldn't say they are wasted contracts. They still have some contract room and really, there aren't a lot of guys out there left to sign, and the flames are close to the cap. What else are they to do with those spots?
