This is not a popular opinion, but I believe that the Flames org. sees Engelland in their long-term plans. Of course, his salary for his role is too high at present, but he is not a bad option for a #6/7 defenseman, and I could see him getting a lower-dollar extension next summer.
Like it or not, both management and coaches have consistently loved the guy.
