The RFAs are all pretty easy to sign. Just qualify the ones you want, and the Flames will retain their rights. Offer sheets are pretty much no concern, Flames will have lots of cap space to match if they want, and most on those list aren't worth an offer sheet anyways.
Jooris may be the easiest one to sign. No arbitration rights and can't sign an offer sheet = sign with the Flames or play in Europe.
Only concern may be Backlund and Bouma who have arb rights but NHL teams are now settling before arb cases anyways.
