Does Byron even make the team next year or the year after with Bennett and Ferland and Jooris and Poirier and Klimchuck and Rienhart and Arnold and Agostino and Granlund and Knight.

My god, do you even watch the games? Byron is the Anti-Seto/Jones/Stajan if there has ever been one.
Such a hard worker, huge puck possession, doesn't panic under pressure, high hockey IQ, soild two way game, always consistant in his effort, can play anywhere in the lineup and be effective.
Seriously how many times does Byron have to go out and be the best forward in the game for the Flames before he gets any love from some people?
He deserves more than another one year contract.
Hoping for a Backlund 5-6 year deal at 3.5-4.5 AAV.
Bouma has also been great so far, heart and soul player, hopefully a 2 to 3 year around 1.5 AAV.
Gio will command a hefty cap hit. He just turned 31 this month, so I'm pretty sure the Flames wont want it to be more than a 4 year deal.
Glencross can go somewhere else for his next contract. Hopefully the Flames can get some sort of return for him at or before the deadline.
