Agreed. Definitely promote from within whether that is Solo, Hunter B, Morin, Poirer or Grushnikov. Even when you physically list the players that may push for a spot next year, it is more encouraging than an outside UFA.
Signing a UFA D is only going to work against the Flames next season and beyond. Even if you blow your wad and bring in a top dog UFA, you're maybe going from potential lottery team to 7-10 again and that is not helping when the team needs a few more high end prospects.
