There is 0% chance that Bollig gets waived this season. If he leaves he will be traded, he does have some trade value.
I think McGrattan has a better chance of being picked up on waivers then most would expect. You never know if a team is looking for a good heavyweight fighter.

I do hope they give Wolf some sort of chance on the 4th line this season. The team needs to see if he's an upgrade on Bollig or Bouma.

I was thinking about this in the Wolf thread, but damn man, the Flames just have too many players and not enough roster spots.

If they call up a player, I would rather see Ferland get the call.

I'm not shocked that he's been waived but I am a little surprised with how quickly the enforcer role died this year. It had been discussed for some time now, as something we would see slowly die out but it seems the entire league just stood up and said "its over" this season.

Nevermind lol....already talked about. Keep the cash.

Loved McGrattan. Truly a lower key fan favorite.
Just seemed like a genuinely great guy who would be wicked to have a beer with.

He's a great guy and I would welcome him as part of The Flames in an off-ice role.

Don't know if it's been mentioned yet, but he should write a book. Tell his story of addiction and recovery while playing in the NHL. I think it would be a great read.

I'll forever be grateful for him during the brawl last year when he held back all the Flames players from doing something regrettable during the 1st intermission. He even said in an interview after that he knew the cameras were watching and he didn't want to see someone get suspended.
