The only way I see Shlemko getting signed by the Flames is if there is a trade and an opening and no younger guys take that spot. Shlemko is good but he's not offensive enough to replace Gio, Brodie, Hamilton, Wideman or even Russell and he isn't physical or tough enough to replace Engelland. If Russell wasn't signed and wanted a bigger contract, I could see them keeping Shlemko but that isn't happening.
If no prospect takes a spot (which I doubt) then MAYBE they'll sign Shlemko.
