WWYDW: Which Free Agents To Keep?
By Ryan Pike
9 years agoWe’re just shy of a month prior to the NHL’s trade deadline – March 2nd at 1pm MT! But let’s shift gears a bit and focus on the future a bit.
Oh, and the Calgary Flames organization’s 23 impending free agents of various types, shapes and sizes.
Who do you keep? Who do you jettison? What Would You Do? (Wednesday)!
THE RFAS
- Mikael Backlund
- Josh Jooris
- Sven Baertschi
- Lance Bouma
- Paul Byron
- David Wolf
- Michael Ferland
- Max Reinhart
- Drew Shore
- Bill Arnold
- Turner Elson
- Ben Hanowski
- Kenny Agostino
- John Ramage
- Sena Acolatse
- Mark Cundari
THE UFAS
- Curtis Glencross
- Brian McGrattan
- Devin Setoguchi
- Raphael Diaz
- Corey Potter
- Karri Ramo
- Brad Thiessen
We’ll have more details on all 23 impending free agents in coming weeks (and months), but even the guys I’d think they’d be hesitant to sign last year – Turner Elson and John Ramage – are productive American League guys at the very least. So outside of the obvious cuts – McGrattan and Setoguchi – I think you can make a decent case for just about everybody else.
It’s a very interesting opportunity for Brad Treliving to really put his stamp on the roster.
