My only vote was going to be Kevin Rooney because you wouldn't let me pick four lol

 

[Rubi]

You won't let me pick six so I'm not voting since I can't make up my mind which three players I can't sign..
Besides, my picks are conditional anyways. Price and term always plays a factor in this cap era.

Big Z.

 

[Mobiandi]

Kylington.

The rest should get traded, although I’m fine with letting Zadorov walk in free agency unless we get something obscene like a 2nd

 

[super6646]

Kylington 100%, Backlund if you can keep him to a 2-3 year deal, and Kevin mother f***ing Rooney because I loved the signing so much the first time I just want to go back to it again.

 

[CamPopplestone]

I actually want to see how Kylington plays after missing a full year of hockey before I'd re-sign him.

 

[Lunatik]

I'd welcome all of them back (even Rooney), in the right circumstances. Term, dollars, how they perform this year and their role(s) moving forward are all important factors for me to decide.

For example, Rooney on a league-minimum, two-way deal to be a leader on the Wranglers? Absolutely sign me up.

 

[Bjornar Moxnes]

Backlund, Lindolm, Zad, and Kylington.

 

[Nanuuk]

I would re-sign all of them. Except Rooney, unless it is a two way league minimum contract.

The other caveat is the UFA's aren't looking for contracts that will break the bank.

They have to know that there is only so much money to go around. If they're prepared to be rich, but not crazy rich, and enjoy what our beautiful city and area has to offer, then just do it.

A reminder that Kevin Rooney once tried to initiate a zone exit while the Flames had possession in the offensive zone.

Idk how he stuck to the nhl level for so long.

Terrible at faceoffs, can’t score, awful possession metrics, etc etc. At least a mark jankowski or the likes of him could be a decent shutdown centre, but Rooney really offers nothing more then ahl depth.

 

[Deen]

Kylington. I don't really want any of our high skill guys back and It's time to tank properly. Zad and Gilbert would be alright too I guess for toughness to protect the rookies and midgets.

 

[viper0220]

None, trade them and start a rebuild.

 

[Turning Mangiapanese]

Backlund because I want him to retire a Flame.
Kylington, if he even plays this year and still looks like and NHLer.
Zad maybe, although I think if he has another good season he will want to test the market. Some dumbass GM will give him $5M+ with term.
Lindholm... I don't know. Just do something already Conny.

 

[cannucky]

I picked five before I read the rules so oh well , if it's any consolation I picked Gilbert as a joke .

 

[Tofveve]

I put Lindy, Tanev and Zad. I'd have put Backs as my 4th pick but honestly it doesn't sound like his heart is here anymore. Feel it's time we part ways though again I'd still try to re-sign him - one of the all time great Flames.

I wasn't huge on Kylington while he was here, felt soft and skittish. I can't imagine he'll be able to just slot back into regular play and form while actually being improved. Just don't see it.

Zad had probably his best year for us last year and was no longer the penalty threat he was in years past (the odd face palm but not nearly as bad). Solid D back there IMO.

 

[BobColesNasalCavity]

I’m for trading them all.

I’m also for extending Backlund to finish his career, Tanev as a veteran body for the blue line and Kylington so he can resume his Hall of Fame career

 

[Khrox]

Kylington has the highest potential, and would love to re-sign him. Of the rest, Lindholm, Tanev, Zad, and Backlund would be the only ones I'd go for, if it was reasonable. Zad has honestly been my third favourite D the last couple years (Rasmus and Tanev are first and second). Tanev if he's willing to accept less and primarily be a PK/third pairing guy (rather than top 4 guy), would absolutely take him back.
