Well, Sutter was the one that acquired him as a free agent signing after Breen didn't get drafted.
I think the Flames are more reluctant to lose him on waivers because of his size (6'7"), how he is a physical stay at home defencemen (which is lacking), he has looked very good in the AHL, and has a nasty disposition. If anything, Breen is a 'Brian Burke' guy for sure in every measure.
Hopefully he gets some playing time soon. It does feel like he is just wasting away here right now.
