He ran hot and cold last year. He would be a good depth guy, but the Flames need to give the kids a chance. Also, the Flames could use more skilled guys with size upfront.
I hope he comes back. I have a man crush on the guy, and after watching him play during that cold streak near the end of the season, he was the only player I noticed every night.
Martin St.Louis 2.0? We let him go at 25 years old... nah just kidding.
I think that ship has sailed but regardless Lundmark can still be an effective depth player, don't think he should ever feature on the top two lines though.

This is where I'm torn. At times, he's shown he can be a top player on the ice, then he disappears. He's still fairly young, and I'd hate to see him turn into something more if we let him go.
He is a serviceable depth player who showed signs of offensive flashes. I think if he comes in at an affordable price we should sign him. He does seem to disappear on some nights, almost to the point of extinction...then he appears to cycle the puck by himself in the corner and then...well...lose it.
Sign him, i'm concerned about our secondary scoring this year and he can help.
I don't have a decent take on his defensive capabilities; anyone else. Can he take on third line checking role?
He's not a guy I'd want consistantly in our top 6. I have no problem with him coming back as a depth guy that can fill in if neccessary. He will come cheap, likes Calgary and is a guy that can get hot. Personally I'd rather have Boyd playing the minutes in the top 6while Lundmark is a depth guy.
What kids? Not sure Backlund is ready, Nemisz is definitely not ready....Sutter?Chucko? give me a break....there are no other kids.
I like Lundmark...he has some skills and can be used for at time for cheap.
You're forgetting Boyd. It's time for Boyd to step up into a top-6 or top-9 role. I also think Backlund will be given every opportunity to win a job on the top-2 lines.
The fact that he's one of the guys that Sportsnet reports having spoke to bouwmeester, I wouldn't be surprised to see him re-sign. 700k for a 1 way deal

If Backlund plays, I want him to develop on center. Swap him and Boyd. and I really hope we can hang onto Pardy, but it doesn't look good.
Edit: Maybe even put Jokinen on the wing, he can shoot, and he isn't great at the faceoffs, then Have Backlund center him.

No i didnt forget Boyd, he already has a spot in the lineup. It's his to lose regardless of Lundmark.
