Data point 50 on why never to pick a goalie in the 1st round.

Unless we can get a legit top 6 F there's no point, I would rather see what we have in Porier, Shore and Granlund.

I believe.

Also wasn't Greg Carey a college free agent people were high on last year and already busted out?

I wish the Flames could somehow nab Matt Belesky. Big, skilled, and totally dominated us in the playoffs. Too bad all the rumors have him heading east

That is too bad. I was hoping his inevitable boat anchor contract would weigh against one of our rivals' caps for the next 5-6 years.

Alex Prewitt @alex_prewitt
Not much change with Joel Ward. Steadfast in seeking 4 years, hasn't closed the door on WSH yet, but expecting to hit UFA market tomorrow.

I think the Flames will be quiet on July 1, but I do think they will look at adding a defenseman, rather than a forward. Perhaps need to move Wideman to make it work, but Oduya, Sekera or Erhoff would be great, perhaps too expensive.
Who knows what Boston is doing, maybe Bartowski?

I think Calgary signs a d-man but it will be more of a tweener guy, an insurance policy on Ladislav Smid. They will probably want to avoid bringing up a kid who isn't ready, or bringing up a kid just to sit on the bench due to an injury.

Sweeny just said at a press conference that Bartowski is heading to UFA.

Vancouver has been reportedly very interested in Bartowski

If we sign a more "under the radar" type Dman, I hope it's Matt Irwin.

Good size, good mobility, 27 years old, two way capabilities.

Louis Jean @LouisJean_TVA
Sources say it is unlikely Mike Ribeiro hits free agency. Should sign extension w/ #Predators today.

Starting to think Ramo might be back.

I mean, what team is left out there that can offer him anything more than Calgary at this point?

Hope Calgary can pick this guy up. He seems like he would be a good fit for the team.

I hope your right and if so, Hiller has to be the odd man out. Ortio's play last year has earned him the opportunity to be at the least, a full time NHL backup. No way he passes through waivers.

Nice writeup by Haynes on the 12 UFAs he thinks might be a fit for the Flames:

I'm thinking that he ends up signing with the Flyers. I can't see them bringing Emery back. Ramo & Mason would be a solid tandem.
