So, for the teams that have waiver priority over the Flames:
1. Columbus - Bobrovsky should be back after the Xmas break but they could pick Khudobin up if they decide to move on from McElhinney.
2. Toronto - Really doubtful with Bernier coming back up and Reimer there as well.
3. Buffalo - Lehner should be back mid-January, so it comes down to whether they want to bring Khudobin in to back Lehner up, who is a much better option than Chad Johnson.
4. Oilers - Nilsson is doing fine for them right now after the Talbot attempt failed, so I think they pass.
5. Carolina - Ward and Lack, so they should pass.
So the threats here are probably Columbus and Buffalo but I think if the Flames want him, there's a really good chance they get him.
