If we can get him resigned on a contract in the $1m-$2m range for a year, I'd be happy to see him back next year. He won't get another deal close to $4m and he probably knows that. I reckon with his family probably settled in Calgary he'd be happy to accept whatever the Flames offer. I like him, in a 3rd line role at best. I wouldn't mind seeing him re-signed. Nobody is trading for him, not to give up anything worthwhile anyway.
Hudler, Russell, Wideman and whatever we can get for Hiller would be my trade bait pieces. Add in Colborne, Jooris and Backlund as the next players you could flip.
