In his call up last season he looked good on a line with Sven (in my opinion), using his size to make room for the skilled guy – something he obviously used to do when playing with Taylor Hall back in the day.
He could take a page out of Aliu's book and show a little nastiness & desire. I'm not sure if it's wise to just let him walk. Power forwards can take a long time to develop. I see no harm in giving him one last cup of coffee on the third line in the NHL.

I guess the big question going forward is whether Nemisz or an open contract spot will be more valuable to the Flames.
