I honestly don't see the point in retaining any of our UFAs. If the reason is to reach the cap floor, that's easy because there is a HUGE crop of UFA's this coming summer that the Flames can over pay for. If it's for leadership, I don't think he's shown much leadership but again, there are tons of players who are going to be later on in their careers that can provide that in the UFA crop.

None of our potential UFA's provide anything that can't be replaced in the summer. We aren't good with these guys, trade them and if they are that important to the team they can be re-signed in the off season
