I'm sure they'd love to stay with the Flames, but that's an extra 3.5 million of cap space that could be milked from the Flames if Smid starts the season on LTIR.

I think posters have to realise that Nak is probably not saught after by other NHL teams. My guess is if there is interest in him from other teams its a 2 way contract.
As for flames the only way i see them re-signing Nak is if they can trade Wideman. I don't think there is much of a chance that flames can trade Wideman before the season starts.
