I'd give him a PTO.

Back to form? The guy is at least 5 years removed from being an effective player.
Some of you guys seem to forget how poorly Sarich played here near the end. He was an extremely slow skater. No offence. Not the best puck mover. Sure he was physical, but he started losing that edge. That entire Flames team was soft so it wasn't saying much when anyone says he was our most physical D. Having said that, he was the only guy some games who would actually fight and stick up for rest of the team. So I guess there was that.
There were many posts dedicated to saying he needed to be shipped out. And I also think he was part of the country club mentality that saturated the team for a number of years.
I'll always be glad for his service to the team, especially ''the hit''. But let's not pretend he would have helped the team last season. I'll be amazed if he gets a contract this upcoming season.
