I would love Martin on the Flames - but don't think the Flames will be able to afford him.
He wouldn't be a complete waste, however - he is a fine checking forward, not just a hitter. That has more value than a guy that just bangs around. I still don't think he will come in at a reasonable dollar figure or even term.
I am thinking the Flames are better off sitting out of the UFA sweepstakes this year, or just waiting and picking off the scraps as training camp approaches just to fill whatever hole they feel they have.
The cap space for the season I would bet would be more valuable than whatever UFA the Flames overspend on.
