Any more ex-Flames about to win on Sunday from the Blues organization?

Berube and Bouwmeester are the only ones who are guaranteed to get their names on the Cup.
MacInnis has the role of Senior Advisor to the General Manager. That may or may not be enough to get his name on the Cup. The team has 18 owners. If each owner gets their name on the Cup, that will limit how many other people can. There is a 52 name limit.
Teams pretty much have free rein over who can get rings, so there will probably be a few guys who get rings without getting their names added to the Cup.
Tkaczuk is an Assistant Coach for the Blues' AHL affiliate in San Antonio. He won't likely get a Cup ring (although, I guess the team could give one to anyone they wanted). He definitely won't get his name on the Cup.
With 13 NHL games played this season, Butler will likely get a ring, but won't qualify to get his name on the Cup.
Brett Hull is a Blues Ambassador, whatever that means, so he'll also likely get a ring.
While only the father of a Flame, Keith Tkachuk is a scout for the Blues, so he should also get a ring and his day with the Cup. Hopefully, being witness to everything going on in his home town will be a major motivator for Matthew next season.
