It's unbelievable that people want to dump Curtis Glencross. $2.55 million for that type of player is incredible value. He hasn't been lights out since the first few games this year but come on guys... I do love how Matt Stajan is playing right now but if this thread was started last year him and Bouwmeester would be the top 2 on almost everyone's list.
My prediction (not necessarily desires)
RFA's/UFA's for next year:
Iginla - either re-signed or traded at deadline
Cervenka - re-signed
Comeau - gone
Backlund - re-signed
Begin - gone
Byron - re-signed
Babchuk - gone
Butler - gone
Brodie - re-signed
Now the Flames look like this going into next year,
Iginla - re-sign knowing his role will be smaller. If he wants to win in CGY one day he would need to take a paycut ($4 million/year for 4 years)
Cammalleri - traded at deadline
Hudler - keep
Cervenka - keep
Tanguay - shopped at deadline but kept (trade return would be minimal versus production)
Stajan - shopped at deadline but kept
Glencross - keep
Stempniak - shopped at deadline but kept
Backlund - keep
Baertschi - keep
Horak - keep
Jones - trade value is nothing
Jackman - trade value is nothing
Byron - trade value is nothing
Bouwmeester - shopped at deadline but kept
Wideman - keep
Giordano - shopped at deadline but kept
Brodie - keep
Sarich - traded at deadline
Smith - shopped at deadline but kept
Kiprusoff - keep
