The Calgary Flames really only have four decisions to make in unrestricted free agency. One of them we'll touch on next week in net, while the other three reside on the blueline. In David Schlemko, Rapha Diaz, and Corey Potter, the Flames have three depth defencemen all in need of new contracts. Knowing their situation on D, however, it really only makes sense to bring back one of this trio.
Calgary's most glaring need organizationally is definitely on the back end, but that doesn't mean the team needs a glut of six and seven defencemen. The trio we're about to profile all fill that particular role, so being very judicious here is the way to go.
