Keep: (in no particular order)
- Hudler
- Wideman
- Brodie
- Baertschi
- Backlund
- Smith
- Horak
- Cervenka
- Stempniak
Try to Trade:
- Stajan
- Butler
- Bouwmeester
- Iggy
- Cammy
- Comeau
- Jackman
- Babchuk
- Kipper
- Giordano
- Tanguay
- Glencross
Was on the fence with Tanguay, Glencross & Stempniak... as Jiri mentioned you need some vets around even in a full rebuild. Of the 3, stick with Stempniak, then he, Wideman & Hudler answer that role well enough I think.

I know that Stempniak is playing the best hockey as a Flame right now , but historically he pulls a Bouwmeester..... he played his worst down the stretch last year and followed up his goal a game pace in Phoenix with absolutely nothing in the playoffs.
Stempniak is the ideal trade right now guy as when he goes the last 15 games with 1 goal and 2 assists he will be a contract dump.
