Cammalleri is gone at some point this year due to his contract expiring, but wanting to trade all of our veteran presence is counterproductive. We're better off hoping to keep and extend both Glencross and Giordano for a couple years beyond their current contracts.

Pretty much a no brainer as he is the obvious choice.

Lets hope he doesn't play like Jordano this season.

Congrats Gio.

Love it! Gio's a hell of a player, and its great to see him with the C. He will lead the boys back into greatness over the next couple seasons

Surprised about Squid. Not sure what that means for him wanting to stay after this season.

If Cammalleri says that he is happy to stay here (to Feaster, not to the media) then I hope the Flames extend him. Everything being said about the guy from the rookies makes me want to keep him around as a mentor.

However, if he wants to go chase the cup (and I support him in that as well) then I hope we get a great deal at the deadline to send him to a contender.

This is a good choice.

It is clear from Gio's path to the NHL that he has a strong drive and work ethic.

I don't understand why at this stage of his career he would look to sign with a rebuilding team. Also if he has a nice season he's probably going to be worth at the very least a 2nd round pick at the trade deadline and now is the time for the Flames to be stocking picks while they attempt to load up on prospects.

He's already said he's open to extension talks.
