With the recent RFA re-signings, and the eventual re-signing of Micheal Ferland, the Flames will have a glut of NHL or close-to-NHL calibre forwards heading into the upcoming season.
Following the addition of Michael Frolik along with the RFA re-signings of Josh Jooris, Lance Bouma, Drew Shore, and Paul Byron to name a few, the Flames have a stockpile of roster forwards heading into the 2015-16 season. It is expected that Micheal Ferland will also sign at some point this summer, bringing the forward number up to 18 with 15 non-waiver eligible players.
