After the surprise season the Flames had this year, they should really try to maintain as much of the lineup as possible. The big UFA is Ramo. After taking the net back from Jonas Hiller in the second round, will the Flames be able to bring him back? Or will he look elsewhere to a team that he can be the No. 1 goalie with little challenge? Edmonton could certainly be an option for Ramo.
Interesting that two of the Flames RFAs are second-generation players.
