Unless the Flames land some big fish via UFA or trade this summer we pretty much have to keep Wideman for cap reasons. And for another year or two, sure, keep Butler. Why not when there is so much cap space available and owners willing to spend? Like someone said above, having a surplus of serviceable d-men never hurt anyone, and sets us up nicely for the deadline should we want to move one.

Not unlike the Flames' surplus of goaltenders this season, really. We benefitted quite handsomely from that, I would say.
