The same as Parise, Chara, Suter, Bouwmeester, Brad Richards, Jokinen, Wideman, Hudler, Cammalleri, Tanguay, Sarich, Glencross, Jackman

ALL ungrateful UFA's who didn't sign with the teams that made them mutli-millionaires.


On the Other hand there are the Honorable well respected guys who sign with their teams when they have a chance to sign as UFA's elsewhere: Stempniak, Stajan, Gio, Rene Bourque, Ian White, Regher,

That doesn't help the Flames. We need tangible stuff in return for Iginla because there's a good chance he won't stay.

They also have a new, highly respected hockey ops team headin into a very deep draft with 3 first rd picks, and already have a much stronger prospect group than the Flames. It's very debateable which club sees the playoffs first.

If people really disrespected UFA's that sign with other teams they would really hate this Flames team that is basically built on players that came to Calgary as UFA's or like Cammalleri signed elsewhere as a UFA.


Also a lot of the most vilified players are guys like Bourque and Stajan and Babchuck who never jumped anywhere as a UFA. Their signing with the team that owned them did not get them any more respect.

I think there is actually a very real possibility of this happening.

It also happens to be our worst case scenario...
