Love it if we landed Clowe. We desperately need some size and strength up front. Horton would be a good fit. Murray doesn't really make sense long term.

Not really sure what the Flames will do in the UFA market this year, should be interesting.
Well I think some guys, especially who have played on winning teams, may want to be a core player. Certainly Horton or Clowe would be a top line player in Calgary and be a huge part of the team right away. Both have been kind of second fiddle on good teams before. It could be they want to keep playing in that role, but wouldn't shock me for a player in the middle of his career to want to be 'the guy'.
