Waived: Raymond and Byron; Granlund sent down to Stockton

[Anglesmith]

Paul Byron would've needed an expanded role here to hit the heights he has hit. I have a hard time thinking he would be more than a 3C here. Plus the Canadiens are able to surround him with more talented players which has helped.

It's sad that we lost him for free, especially with the speed and skating ability he possesses when we didn't have to. He's better than the deadweight we have in our bottom 6, but life goes on I guess

Well, Hartley had him as a top-6 winger at times in his times here. With the struggles last season, he probably would've at least had a chance there. However, it's not like he wasn't effective in a bottom-6 role. Anyone claiming that he would've put up a lot of points here is missing the point. He's putting up points in an elevated role because he's a good player. He would've helped the Flames in any role because he's a good player.
