Because Sutter has to look like a complete fool........he waives Kotalik

“I couldn’t care less about what’s happened to him in New York this year or what’s gone on, because I don’t know,” Sutter said. “I know from two years ago in Buffalo he was a very good hockey player."
and then goes on to draft kids of previous Flames players Maxwell Reinhart and John Ramage......so the march for a 1st Line Center continues like it does every year...with far less chips to acquire one.
Word out is that the Flames are re-looking at Savard.......dangling perhaps Regehr.......which might make a little sense if the Bruins have deemed Chara out of their price range. And have completely quit on Kaberle. Other than that the Flames have no bargaining power unless they decide to show Kipper or Iginla the door. I would imagine Iginla before Kipper.
This organization is a mess. At least they picked up some swedish goalie Henrik Carlson as a backup. I have nothing else to say about this sad sack bunch.
