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.

For sure. May as well see what you have.
But these AHL UFAs really don't have a huge amount of leverage unless they completely light it up on the recall ... in which case the Flames would be winners anyway.
Doesn't work ... likely out of the organization
Really works ... Flames will have to pony up
Moderate success ... potentially retain one or both
