Bartkowski arrived as a late season FA signing to help bolster the Flames struggling back end on defence. He and Michael Stone arrived in town and both pushed Dennis Wideman to the press box and Bartkowski, alone, should be applauded for that. He paired well with Deryk Engelland during the regular season, but both were exposed come playoff time. None of his 24 games with the Flames this season stood out and I can’t imagine bringing him back would be a huge priority for the Flames.
