I would love to see Murphy up next year, he needs the challenge of the better plays/players/speed in order to progress.
The team lucked out with the consistency of Cooley (will play the most games of his career this season) and it only would make sense they try him on the flames a few times to see where he lands for when Vladrs contract is up and we all know Wolf will be the starter but with a backup that has the current stats/attitude Cooley has we would be in a really good spot for goal tending, and with both of their ages, it would be solid for a while.

I'd really love the Flames to make a little room for Solovyov.
I'd like to see:
-Soloyov in place of Hanley or Bean
-Hunt in place of Rooney (if I am not mistaken, he can play C and he was great last year)
-Klapka in place of Duehr
We should also ensure that Poirier gets some games this year to see what he is at this level.
