Why would we buy out a player when we are struggling to make the cap floor?
I think we'll see both Wideman and Jones as overpaid bottom line players just so we can meet the cap floor and still have key spots open for young guys.
GlenX - Backlund - Vrbata
Gaudreau - Monahan - Colborne
Bouma - Granlund - Emile Poirier
Mcgrattan - Stajan - D Jones
Gio - Brodie
Russell - Wotherspoon
Myers - Wideman
Smid
Ramo - Overpaid backup to meet cap floor.
Pretty sure this lineup wouldn't make the cap floor regardless.
The flames seem to have too many B/C quality prospects and not enough blue chip prospects. We need a deal involving one of our Vets with decent value and 2 B prospects (or 1 B prospect and a 2nd round pick) for a blue-chip prospect.
There are too many deserving young guys and not enough open spots. It's a good problem to have I suppose and it's never been this way since I've started following the flames.
