I don't think any of the options fit my view. I don't think anyone has replaced McGrattan's role necessarily, just that his role is needed less. And we have better players to play in his stead if his expertise is not deemed valuable for the game.
I do however think the McGrattan will stay with the Flames for the forseable future. I think that management values his attitude and leadership. And I think it's worth a close-to league minimum salary and a contract to have that on the team.
