I'll never get that sentiment from some fans.

Having said that though. The Flames have a log jam coming on the wing and a big shortage of quality centers and D.
Mangiapane is probably the guy with the best combo of bigger contract, weaker stats this year. But enough of a track record to be worth something.
He and Markstrom are the biggest tear down targets in my mind to open up spots for younger guys and bring back some value.
There are always older UFAs that can fill gaps on shorter contracts until the younger players in the system are ready to shoulder more load. Like Zary, Pospisil, Wolf, Coronato ect.
