These three familiar faces could all provide solid defensive depth for the Flames in the coming seasons.
The Calgary Flames' defence situation was thrown for a wild, completely unexpected loop when Dougie Hamilton was acquired. It's still not perfect, though; and while additional improvements to the top four are always welcome, it's important to have solid depth as well. These aren't the older defenders we looked at previously; rather, three guys in their late 20s who can easily shore up the bottom minutes.
They're all familiar guys, as well. Matt Bartkowski is essentially an honourary Flame, even though Jarome Iginla nixed the trade with the Boston Bruins that would have sent him to Calgary.
