Isn't there several veteran guys in this position though? This statement could apply to Backlund, Coleman, Kadri etc.

The Flames have enough of vets they need to keep happy, that I'm not sure they won't try to sell them the dream of trying to compete next season.

Will they accommodate all of the vets that feel that way?
