tko you don't out much stock in losing Cammy yet Burke/Treliving desperately tried to keep him but would not give up the term. Burke called Cammy a disciple of what the flames are trying to do and he was clearly a leader in the room.
Personally I am glad we did not give him the contract the Devils did and with our LW future looking bright it was the right call to let him go but listening to what management had to say about him we lost a key leader on and off the ice.
The Flames had injuries last year but also came out on top of more one goal games than they lost. Losing a 25 goal scorer will be tough. Adding Raymond who might pot 20 and hopefully a full year of Glencross will balance it out. I just think this team did very little to improve in the short term but that is a good thing.
I think the key to this year is showcase some kids and see what they have. Hopefully they end up with their highest draft choice yet and have assets to make some big additions next summer.
