Voting three (Brouwer, Chiasson and Engelland), though I would hope for less.

Poor Stajan and Chiasson, getting grouped in with the other three.

Stajan
Brouwer
Bouma

1. They will want to get rid of the Brouwer contract but won't be able to, including the expansion draft

2. They would prefer to keep Chaisson over Bouma, but will end up stuck with Bouma and won't want to buy anyone out this season.

One: Chiasson. Stajan willing​ be a healthy scratch, Bouma will have been traded, Engelland will walk, and Brouwer will have been taken by Vegans.

If Stajan's a healthy scratch than he's on the opening night roster. Maybe you're thinking of the opening night line-up? The spirit of the thread is essentially "who's still signed as a Calgary Flame on opening day?".

^ Meh, we're delving into semantics. I just think that Stajan will be sitting in the press box on opening night in favour of Chiasson, Lazar, Versteeg, and Jankowski.

Well without going all CorsiHockeyLeague it's an important semantic as the OP was asking who will still be a Flame on opening day and you said Stajan won't because he'll be in the press box.

Opening day roster is a very common and clear term in the sports world for which players are part of the team on day one. Who's dressed and playing on opening night is an entirely different question and about as relevant as "who will be playing in game 15 of the Flames 17/18 season".

In the spirit of his question you didn't include Stajan and then went on to say he will be here.

...ok, who cares? You've made your point, but I'm pretty sure that my post was clear.

Is Bolland still buried next season? If so, I have a feeling they won't have two players down there making NHL salary and counting against the cap.

I also have a feeling Jankowski will actually replace Stajan at some point in the year, but that Stajan will start at centre first.

Four. Only Engelland will be gone.

Some will be healthy scratches but not thinking about that.

Perfect, thanks. Wasn't sure on that one, but figured it'd be quicker to post it and then get corrected than look it up.

edit: Oh and I said Bolland? Well, wrong on the name, wrong on the contract. Excellent work, jayswin.

Well... the post in question was an opinion, so to call it incorrect is rather Orwellian of you, wouldn't you say?
