Don't see JBO wanting to re-sign with Calgary. This is a guy that has never played an NHL playoff game and if he stays will not see one in Calgary for 3-5 years.
JBO and Cammi are at the top of my list of the flames veterans that will more than likely want to move. There really is nothing for the flames to offer them in terms of staying. Cammi seems like he wants to win, and JBO more than likely wants to play in the playoffs. Neither of those things are going to happen in Calgary for a while. These guys will get near top line minutes no matter what team they play on.
For now i hope that Glencross and Gio would want to stay. They might give the flames a couple of years and if things start to look up they might want to stay past that. If things don't look up they will want to leave. Hudler will probably want to stay because for the first time he will get top line minutes and be counted on.
There is a high probability that the veterans that the flames will need over the next 3-4 years will come from UFA market. Those are the players that will want ice time that won't be availble on good teams.
