Thirty-one year old Flames sniper Cammalleri is reportedly available, but the price tag ($7M salary) is a little prohibitive, although he will be a UFA at season’s end.  He has had injury problems over the past 5 seasons, and they have hit him again this season.

UPSIDE

He is a goal-scorer, and has 13 goals in just 37 games on a bad Flames team this season.

DOWNSIDE

In addition to his injury woes, Cammalleri has almost always been a minus player and he isn’t a great skater.
WHERE WOULD HE FIT

Another candidate to patrol the wing on Spezza’s line.  He could play finisher to Spezza’s passer.
