If the flames think the player is just a year away from potentially rebounding from a serious injury, a lackluster season heading into free agency could be fortuitous for the flames if the player is able to bounce back.
Do we have any kind of speculation on what his salary demands might be? If he's making 4 million now, does his most recent season force him to take a reduction or is that wishful thinking for a defender under 30?
The personal connection to the city really throws off what to think of this move. Is this a Cory sarich type situation?
