Bozak might make a good 4th line veteran C option. Still one of the best face off guys in the league at roughly 56% every season.

Why do the Flames need to have four 30+ guys in the bottom-six? I really don't see the need to sign Bozak—Pitlick, Ritchie and Lucic offer more than enough zero-offence veteran-ness.

Put Gawdin or Phillips down there instead.
