Galiardi is a RFA having a stinky year with little upside. I'd rather take another flyer on Ortio, could at least be a minor trade chip. Guys of Galiardi's ilk will be avialable for free in free agency... again just don't see any value in keeping him.
McGratton, I just have never agreed with the value Flames fans put on him, but I understand that's a matter of personal preference. I'd probably protect a Cammaleri or something, at least he might fetch a draft pick for negotiating rights... better than nothing.

teams can negotiate with free agents prior to July 1st now. So negotiating rights are going to be worth much less, if anything at all.
