Very similar to Versteeg last year (Edmonton never guaranteed him a spot). Had they have, they would have signed him but in both cases they didn't so both players signed with the Flames.

So Chiasson is probably not back now with this signing then. I'm fine with the upgrade in talent.
I doubt Versteeg is back either.
Anyone think that Foo gets a shot at the top line? Perhaps alongside Bennett? Maybe with Backlund and Frolik? Which lineup do you like better?
1) Gaudreau-Monahan-
Foo
Tkachuk-Backlund-Frolik
Ferland-Bennett-Brouwer
Bouma-Stajan-Lazar
2) Gaudreau-Monahan-Ferland
