Begin, I like the story but the Flames have enough Vets they do not need some fourth line plug taking a roster spot from young guys like Jones. I do not care what anyone says Jones is an upgrade over the entire fourth line.
I you have no plans for these players going into next season, get them out now and develop some of the younger guys. Comeau has intensity but no talent to use it with. Decent PK player but by no means should ever be used above the fourth line no matter how bad injuries get. Gah. Remove is right.

Why does everyone have the notion that Jackman is only here to intimidate guys? Being a fighter/goon has never been his reputation, he has never been that type of player. His reputation is a guy who throws his body around alot in the time he plays every night, who on occasion will drop his gloves, a great team guy who isn't a liability on the ice. He was more effective when he was originally signed because he was used in that way and he wasn't the go to thug. Quite frankly this team could use a goon and someone who's reputation is to actually intimidate guys.
