As things currently stand I don't see a spot opening up in the top 9 for the next 2 seasons. If the Flames bring back Lomberg, then the 4th line is full as well. With Honzek, Suniev Kerins, and Stromgren needing a look as soon as this season, Lomberg will need to transition to a healthy scratch rather quickly.

I agree. The Flames have 23 players on the roster and that does not include Honzek. Nothing that Lomberg is going to do this season puts the Flames are risk of losing him. If he wants to stay and the Flames want to keep him, the deal can be done at the deadline or after the season is over. Right now is just not needed as things can evolve based on who plays well this year and who makes the team out of camp
