How about we talk about what other players that might be on the list . Kerr was pretty adamant during a road trip weeks ago that he saw stuff that needed to be dealt with in off season.
I think top of list is Hamilton and Ferland.
Personally think flames top 6 centres are to passive. I wouldn't have re-signed Backlund.
Cases could be made that Bennett and Brodie should be moved , but I'm not sure they fall into the Francis and Kerr list.
I don't think they were talking about Brouwer. They have both said that he has been a mess for the flames but they do say he tries.

- I don't think Backlund - they wouldn't have re-signed him if it was. And he loves to be a flame more than anyone. Backlund in my view is the kind of vet that needs to be wearing an A.
- I think Brouwer has to be one of them. He's wearing an "A", he's a vet, he's been terrible.
- I think maybe Brodie, but he get's too much ice team for a guy that "doesn't care." If anything, he cares too much, gets too much ice time.
- I think maybe Bennett, but I sure hope note. But he does fit the characterisation at a high level. But again, I think the Gully-Bennett relationship is what's killing him.
So two guys - Brouwer and brodie/hamilton/bennett. Which one of the three?
