Which former Flames would you bring back?
Looking around the league there are a bunch of former Flames still active and playing with various degrees of success. Here's a comprehensive list of em:
- Curtis McElhinney, Lightning goalie
- Troy Brouwer, Blues winger
- James Neal, Oilers winger
- Alex Chiasson, Oilers winger
- Markus Granlund, Oilers forward
- Kris Russell, Oilers defenseman
- Mike Smith, Oilers goalie
- Sven Baertschi, Canucks winger
- Micheal Ferland, Canucks winger
- Oscar Fantenberg, Canucks defenseman
- Dougie Hamilton, Hurricanes defenseman
- Brian Elliott, Flyers goalie
- Derek Grant, Flyers centre
- Chris Stewart, Flyers winger
- Michael Frolik, Sabres winger
- Curtis Lazar, Sabres centre
- Brandon Davidson, Sharks defenseman
- Dalton Prout, Sharks defenseman
- Paul Byron, Canadiens forward
- Brett Kulak, Canadiens defenseman
- Garnet Hathaway, Capitals winger
- Ben Street, Devils forward
- Blake Comeau, Stars winger
- Nick Shore, Jets centre
- Deryk Engelland, Golden Knights defenseman
- Dion Phaneuf, free agent defenseman
(I did not include Jay Bouwmeester due to his unfortunate medical condition)
Which of these players would you welcome back with open arms? Which would you never want back under any circumstances?

(by the way, for the sake of discussion, let's assume all these players were on the open market and didn't come saddled with their existing contracts)

Looking at this team's needs I would probably sign Fantenberg and Comeau from the list above to low-cost deals.

Hamilton, England, Hathaway and Blake Comeau just so we can say "I can't believe he's still in the league" every game.

This is a very sad list. Many of these guys' new teams are trying to get rid of their anchor contracts.
Dougie Hamilton is the only actually good player.
Hathaway would be good to have back. A healthy Ferland? The rest literally have no or negative value.
And yes, I cannot believe that Blake Comeau is still playing NHL level hockey.

I'd take a healthy Byron any day as well. Am a fan of Hathaway too.

Not a single player I really miss. Hathaway was good but glad we didn’t give him a 4 year deal

Byron, Hath, Ferland if we could erase his unfortunate concussion issues that are likely going to end his career

I didn't include guys who were technically team property but who never played in the regular season (Fox, Anton Stralman, Scott Sabourin, etc)
