They've already changed their web site, he just hasn't got a number yet.

I see Brett Sutter is on the apparent starting roster now also.

Yeah theyve been reporting over the last couple of days thats he's essentually gone . His agent said Wednesday that he was gettin NOWHERE with management and was hoping that just might have something to do with the buzz about the new coach but with them lookin to almost double his current 3,350,000, the addition of Bouwmeester and with NO wiggle room in the cap already........

But then again unless we see some MORE big name players move this all but counts out Healey comin here

Im just a little confused how he went from playing a whole 4 games for the Flames last year to appearing on their roster.

Somethings really screwed up about that list - theyve got Van der Gulik listed too and he only played 6

This is huge, even though the Pronger to Philly effect means that Bouw is gonna cost them huge moneywise. I hope it doesn't mean a flip-flop back to Playfair's year as coach where they had an awesome defense but couldn't score worth a damn.

Either way this upcoming year will be fascinating. Bouw, Reggie, Dion, and Sarich. Looks like next season's Murderer's Row will officially be residing in Calgary.
