My guess is that only Schlemko will be back of those three.

It also depends on what happens with Smid. Smid still has two years left on his contract, and he isn't even 30 yet, so I don't see him retiring unless his injury is severe.

If Smid does retire, or the Flames are able to move him, Diaz returning isn't a bad option.

Wotherspoon is still waiver-exempt for next season, so I could see him being the 8th man again. I don't think the Flames will be lucky enough to avoid major injuries to the blueline for most of next season again, so Spoon will likely get his shots even if he starts the year in Stockton.

Gio - Brodie
Russell - Wideman
Smid/Schlemko - Engelland

Diaz/Wotherspoon
