What's wrong with Maroon? I'll bet that's exactly who the Flames were looking at. He's the only decent UFA on the Blues roster right now and he wouldn't cost a lot to acquire.
Guy has a surprisingly good skillset. Faster skater than one would think, soft hands for a big guy, has hockey sense and can play a heavy game which is what the Flames need for the playoffs. In games where checking is tight and scoring off the rush is tough, it's a good idea to have at least 1 heavy line.
If Maroon was acquired. Personally, I would put him on a line with Jankowski and Bennett and see if they can re-create the magic that Jagr brought to that line. I don't think I've ever seen Janko or Sam play better in their entire careers than when they were paired up with Jagr.
