Roster Finished?

I have to wonder if the Flames are finished dealing and signing. Aside from White being signed-hopefully-then what? Anyone have any ideas about our current roster? What about Kotalik and Staios? Any trades forthcoming? Trade rumours or trade suggestions?
If Kotalik disappears Kotalik's salary is needed for White. If Staios goes, a little more money for another free agent?
Bryan Cameron or Backlund will have to play, and it looks like Conroy is an outside bet.
Dawes is gone so I guess Sutter, Ivanans or Meyer on 4th line LW. It seems Calgary has depth at Centre too, the farm is full with Stone, Cameron, Nemisz, waiting in the wings. Perhaps a centre will move on to a wing.
The starting roster: Kotalik subtracted to sign White-just a thought
Left Centre Right
Tanguay Langkow (Healthy?) Iginlia
Hagman Jokinen Borque
Glencross Stajan Moss
Sutter Backlund Jackman
Defence
Bowmeester Giordano
White Regehr
Pardy Sarich
Staios? Pelech up?
Goal
Kirpusoff
Karlsson
I guess its not that bad, the new additions have added depth, barring injury the team looks competitive. God forbid Kirpusoff ever getting hurt, that would be devastating to this team.
If we had one more free agent to add-any ideas? Or how about realistic trade proposals. Staios would add cap space if he isn't in the Flames plans
From The Hockey Gym: Calgary Cap Space -note Dawes was bought out, increase capspace, Flames paid 2/3 of 850,000 or 566,666 to make Dawes a UFA. My best guess is just over 1 mill cap space and with Kotalik gone add 3 million leaving 4 million to sign White. However, no cap space if White gets 4 million. Come on White sign for 2.5 and let us add someone else, like Dawes perhaps. How about Sutter takes less pay for adding an assistant GM and pushing his son through-I just added that to be controversial. I like how all Sutter's play hockey.

Staios is done. It will be the final straw for all Flames fans if Staios is kept around and White is let go. Kotalik will be loaned out or dropped to Abby. Backlund should not be playing 4th line minutes, and he won’t be. Stone, Sutter, Jackman and Ivanans are all 4th liners (notice the lack of the word “capable” in that sentence. Well, maybe Stone will be good) who will, or rather, should, get the nod before Backlund. There is just no room for him.
Now, if Dawes was still around, he, Moss & Stone would be the most dominating 4th line in the division. It makes me so angry that Sutter thought dropping Dawes and picking up the pylons was a good idea. It was about 600k more to have Backlund and Dawes on the roster instead of those two.

On the pylons vs keeping Dawes
I 100% agree with you. Which doesn’t always happen – does it Justin ?
