As a defensive centre he'd be behind Monahan, Backlund and Stajan IMO. I don't see what he adds.

So what gives? Defenseman Jay Bouwmeester was a huge disappointment, but his contract makes moving him difficult.

Well Hitchcock did get his extension so I wonder if those guys or any guys will be moved. I could see them making a deal with the leafs for Kessel. Oshie seems like a good option but hasn't he had concussion issues?

I would like Vermette based on his faceoff prowess. Calgary has been a nightmare in the dot for a while. Stajan is above 50% and Colborne as well in limited attempts. Still would like someone who can win important draws, but if Vermette is trying to break the bank on his next contract (which he most likely will be) Calgary should look elsewhere. Was thinking maybe Treliving might have an inside track from his time in Phoenix.

I am not sure a one-year extension is enough of a vote of confidence that the GM is going to start making roster changes to accommodate him.

Monahan. He will continue to get better and did well in important situations during the regular season, from what I saw.

Hope so, he wasn't that elite this year but def should improve eventually. But I thought the same with Backlund back in the day as well.

But where does he fit in the lineup?
You have:
Monahan
Backlund
Bennett
Stajan
Vermette is a downgrade on Monahan and Backlund. It would be idiotic to have him take Bennett's spot. And if you were to replace Stajan, a) Stajan is great in the room, b) Vermette isn't a whole lot better, and c) you would have Vermette replacing the one guy that actually IS decent in the circle so Vermette's impact would be minimalized.
It makes no sense at all.

McKenzie says he can see the Blues being open to moving one or two of Berglund, Oshie and Backes .
Jackman likely won't be back.

“But in terms of actual core players, I think the notion of possibly moving one or two of those guys that I mentioned – Backes, Oshie or Berglund – would be something that they’d at least be open to. Not, as I say – I don’t think Doug Armstrong is going to be sending out an email tomorrow saying, ‘These guys are available. Make your best offers. We’re moving them.’ But I think he’d be wide open to changing the fabric of the team somewhat.”

Any thoughts on whether Jackman can still play? I think his style is something we need, but 34 yrs old is getting up there.

Yeah I dunno about Jackman at 34. He's decent, but probably only for another tear or so.

He played 80 games for the Blues and notched about 15 points which is pretty much what you can expect out of him these days.
I wouldnt be too opposed if he was cheap, but I'm not sure hes a better alternative than guys we've already got.

He's a broken down version of what he was, he's no more then a bottom pairing Dman now.
I'd love Oshie/Backes/Berglund depending on price.

Most analysts say FO ability comes with experience. Monahan is pretty good for a second year guy, and he had some very good stretches in the PO race.
Like Enoch said, he'd be at best a replacement for Backlund or Stajan, and he's not a huge improvement (if any) over either guy (at more salary and older).
Vermette's 55.3% FO rate isn't a lot better than Colborne's 52.4% (albeit in a small sample size). Stajan is 50.3%

I really hope the Flames can snag Oshie without using our 1st round pick.

I've read the linesmen give the vets more leeway on faceoffs as well, so you have to build up a rep.
