What?
The Flames have all of $20 m committed to 6 players in the final year of Engelland's contract. Hudler, Jones, Glencross, Russell, Hiller and Ramo will all be on new deals, or else playing elsewhere. That same year will see Gaudreau, Monahan, Brodie, Baertschi, Wotherspoon, Granlund and Ferland on new RFA deals, and Giordano requiring a new contract. Poirier, Sieloff, Klimchuk, Kulak will be in the final years of their ELC deals, and Bennett will still have another year left on top of that. In all likelihood, the decision about what to do with Engelland will be a minor one.
