While I believe that the cap and the outright skill levels will mean that Mackey, Gawdin, Kylington (depending on his...location) and maybe Ruzicka and Kinnvall will play somewhat significant roles on next year's team there is no way Sutter goes into the season without Ritchie, Nordstrom, Stone and Rinaldo (as popcorn eater) or their equivalents.

After getting into only a handful of games this year I would be surprised if Kylington resigned in Calgary. Flames may well qualify him but he would be better served playing in KHL or some other league where he can get consistently into games. I wouldn’t be surprised if both Ritchie and Nordstrom are offered new contracts to play here next year. Sutter seemed to like them and it would fit his pattern of young guys having to beat out veterans for a job instead of being handed one.
