Niederreiter is my top pick of who is left. I think he would fit in decently on the Flames under Sutter.
Jarnkrok I am fine with if he is cheap - it may have been a case of him being unlucky, or it may have been trying to play in a system that just doesn't work for him. If is the latter, then he should probably find a different team I guess.
Stastny is a name nobody brought up. I wouldn't hate that (though I doubt it happens). He is old to be sure, but strong faceoffs from what I remember, great long the boards, defensively strong, and a decent puck distributor. 4th line guy now with ability to move up in case of injuries, but also someone you send over the boards for key draws - a less tough version of Yelle.
Just personally hoping to avoid Kadri, as I think he is going to be expensive, and a contract that I see never living up to the potential. Plus, I really dislike him. LOL
I am 100% fine with no more moves to be made, and just re-signing the players that are RFAs, and promoting from within.
