All would be desirable by many teams in the league at those prices.
We couldn't retain on all three right now but if Brad is creative he could unload all these guys with retained salary at various points in the year as prorated cap space opens up. Guys like Ramo and Raymond could be demoted to save money to help facilitate these trades as well.

By the time any of those 3 get traded, the only player that might need retention is Wideman. I seriously doubt the flames are going to have to eat money on Hudler and Russell. By the time they are traded the flames will already have paid more than half their salary.
