It's interesting that the Flames called up their two highest profile pending UFAs from the farm. I've seen some commentary that this is a callup for the future, but unless both sign extensions, it's a showcase for every other team in the league as well. May not be much of a futures callup and really is focused on getting the bottom of the lineup going. I think the futures players the Flames are waiting on are Zary, Pelleter, Corronato, Kuznetsov, Poirier, and Wolf. Would be nice for one of Zahorna or Phillips to step up, be a player and force the hand of the team to give them another contract.
