[News] Mason Raymond and Brandon Prust on waivers.

One thing about Wideman's suspension is that if you look at the schedule for the next few weeks, the Flames are either at home or on the road on the west coast (and Arizona) until they go to Philly on the 29th (and Stockton doesn't leave California during that time).

They could potentially decide to play with 6 d-men, knowing they can make a pretty quick emergency recall if needed.

I'm not concerned with his contract negotiating skills.

When it comes to the UFA market you have to always try to beat out the other teams too so it's a lot harder to get good value contracts majority of the time.

Even the Frolik contract was less than many were expecting.
