Doan does make sense based on the story Treliving told. He did imply thenplayer likely has his pick of teams and I am not so sure Doan fits that description anymore.
Holding out unrealistic hopes it is Radulov and the opportunity to play with Monahan and Gaudreau is too tempting.
Flames likely have to dump Stajan to make a $6M cap hit work.
I like the thought of Marleau or Iginla in our forward group.
Could it be Patrick Sharp? The same guy who mentioned the Flames have interest in Marleau, also mentioned a possibility with Sharp. With the way things have gone, it probably ends up being Doan or Vrbata. Treliving likes his ex-coyotes. Don Maloney, Michael Stone, Mike Smith..
If we sign one of these players though, it probably points towards Versteeg not coming back.
It was a story of the vet who wants a shot at a cup, and was personally calling four teams which he felt had that shot to see if there was any interest in him.
Great. I didn't miss it then. So, let's be clear the UFA that called Brad indicated he was really interested in a few teams, including the Flames that he identified as up and comers. There was no mention of retiring if he couldn't find interest from those teams.
That opens this up to the entire crop of free agents really. We're not just talking about someone looking at one last hurrah necessarily. This could go well beyond Doan, Iggy or Marleau.
I would totally think he would take that 4th line role no problem. Could also see him being in front of the net on PP2. I'm not sure who I like better Chaisson or Doan. Love Shane's grit and has a history of scoring, but Chaisson has better speed.
How about neither? I hope the Flames don't waste a spot on another marginal player. Top 6 or nothing.

Sorry I missed something. Who said we actually have interest in Sharp and Marleau?
