But like I said, if need be. But the more likely scenario is that he once again makes the team and plays as a utility player on the bottom 2 lines and maybe sits a few games out.
Ultimately though, Brad will set himself up for the future and it would be smart to eat the contract for 18-19 with the generous amount of cap space we'll have and clear his contract fully when we need it most down the road.

I dont disagree with wanting to do it, I feel he should be there if hes kept on the flames.
I just don't see it happening in Calgary between the owners and the management within the organization or we would have seen it happen this year as well.
One can dream though!
