they made the right move with Colbourne. I could see his arbitration award being over $3.5 million. That is probably another reason even if the flames wanted to trade him nobody would take on Cobourne knowing his potential arbitration #. I think they will sign him for under $3 million. Hopeing for $2.5 million but that will be on the low side.
They can say what they want about Jooris but unless he is signing for maz $800,000 then they will let him walk.
Ortiio is a bit of surprise. I don't think he would get $1 million in arbitration. My thinking is he signs for $600,000 knowing that the back-up job is his or he tries his luck out on the market. Have to think flames have a few options if he won't sign for cheap.
As for the rest not a big surprise. They got a lot new blood coming in and they have only so many spots.
