Begin: Has done OK at his job in general as a crash and bang forward, but I don't think we need to re-up him. Go.

Cammalleri: On one hand, it would be nice to get rid of his huge cap hit. On another hand, he is still a lethal weapon on the PP. Can be a liability at times 5 on 5 however but is the Flames 2nd most talented pure offensive weapon (between him & Tanguay). Not sure if I want him to stay or go.

Glencross: Although he can take the most stupid penalties at times and is prone to some cold streaks too, he has one of if not the best value contracts in the NHL right now. Can light the lamp with regularity when he's on and the grittiness is still there when he wants to use it. Keep.

Hudler: Isn't the greatest of skaters and is soft, but can be a magician with the puck. So creative and smart in the offensive zone, if not so much in the defensive zone. Keeper.

Jackman: Has picked it up of late and is an effective crash and banger. Skates well for his size too. Not sure I wanna keep him though.

McGrattan: I'd say keep him for no other reason other than that he's the only guy who can really be any sort of deterrent for opposing players cheapshotting our players. Keep.

Stajan: FINALLY showed signs of life late last season and started to play like he could with the Leafs. Has continued that play and turned that into a resurgence this year. Is not good enough to live up to the $3.5 mil cap hit, but is playing well enough to be close to the $2.5 mil he's now making. Has played legitimately well this year and unlike 2 years ago and even last year, he hasn't had that many truly bad games this season. His +5 rating he has is also actually indicative of his good overall defensive play and it's a minor miracle he's achieved that on this team. Sure it would be great if he could score a bit more and wasn't so soft, but he's had a solid season nonetheless any way you look at it. I think he deserves to see out his contract here. Unless you get a good offer for him in the offseason, one more year!

Stempniak: Good skater, who competes, hustles and forechecks well, and of course he can also score quite effectively. Has had a good season no doubt. Unless you can get a 1st rounder for him, I think he should be kept.

Tanguay: I'd say the Flames most offensively talented forward still here. Is a tremendous playmaker who can make some ridiculoulsly good passes. Also has a good sniper shot which he should use more. Sadly, as some peolple have pointed out, he looks like he's 'mailed it in' since Iggy left. Won't be steamed if he's still here but won't cry if he's gone either. I'm saying he shouldn't be here. Go.

Babchuk: Pretty much a massive liability with the exception of a booming slapshot. Way too slow, way not good. Go.

Giordano: Has had without a doubt a nightmare of a season. Still, he's much better than that. Too good not to keep unless you get an insane offer for him, he should be kept. Keep.

Sarich: Can make a case for him to be kept since he's the best physical presence the Flames have. However, I don't think he has it in him to be good enough over an 82 game season anymore with his slow-footedness which is getting no better with age. I think he should be moved unfortunately. Go.

Wideman: Was outright awesome for his first 15 games or so. Has cooled off alot since then. Possesses great offensive instincts and has an uncanny ability to get his point shot through traffic. Can be absolutely dreadful in his own zone but his offense can be good enough to make up for his defensive shortcomings. Keep.

MacDonald: Has been really good to close out the season. Could be good for insurance policy or a 2nd stringer. That said, I'm not sure whether he should stay or go.
