If it ainīt Glencross then there would be some other 30+ UFA forward, we need some veteran leadership in forward spot.
We are heavily full in left wing, but you donīt put Johnny against the other team top line at least not for few years.
Next summer UFA left wingers etc. Foligno, Bergenheim, Sodenberg and Beleskey.

Jones plays his contract and goes away. |
That weak free agent class is exactly the problem... If Benoit Pouliot got 20 million over 5 years, you've got to think someone is going to give Glencross 3 or 4 years at 4 mil per (at least) and he knows that. I agree, there is no way the flames should offer 4 years and I'm not convinced about 3 years either.
I think the flames have enough veterans even without Glencross though. Still leaves Stajan, Raymond, Hudler, Jones, Colborne, Bouma, Bollig and Byron who all have decent experience and will be 25+ next season, it's not exactly a kiddie corps even without him.
