Matt Niskanen would be the only UFA that I would target. I think Moulson will head back to play with Tavares. I could see Burke liking Callahan, but that's not the direction the Flames need - his contract is going to be 6+ year for $6M per.
If the Flames can shed themselves of Wideman and SOB, I'd love to see Sarich come back on a 1-year deal to play bottom pairing minutes.
For the Flames, right now, UFAs should fill the bottom lines and pairings and be solely stop gaps. Any big and/or long term deals would be a horrible misstep.
