The Flames have a number of unrestricted free agents whose contracts are set to expire within a couple of months. Both of their goalies are UFAs, as is roughly half the defence… plus one forward.
It’s the one forward who probably has the best reviews out of the entire class. While Brian Elliott and Chad Johnson disappointed at times throughout the season, and the bottom half of the Flames’ defence was notably much worse than the top half, Kris Versteeg slid right into the Flames’ lineup just a day before the season started, and not once did he ever really pose a problem (other than the occasional injury and games missed earlier in the season).
