Confirmed with Link: Flames sign Nordstrom (1 year, 700K)

[DFF]

Why do you hate Mangiapane?

Sorry, I missed that he is a new Flames

I'm intrigued. There is a photo of Markstrom, Nordstrom, and Lindholm all fishing together, seems to have been prophetic.

Who took that picture? Kipper?

I mean, Nordstrom is a former teammate if Lindholm in Carolina, it makes sense the two would ve buddies. And we've known Markstrom and Lindholm are buddies for a long time.

The more I read about this guy, is he kinda like a Hathaway type of player?

 

[Kahvi]

Really good signing based on Bruins fans comments. At 700K for one year, no risk / good reward at best, no risk / no reward at worst

It's nice to see the organization has a good reputation around the league. They really seem to treat their guys well.

Contrast that with the guys up north who have McDavid and Draisaitl and still struggle with their perception around the league

Looking at that picture above, Nordstrom is probably a guy who likes Alberta more than LA or New York.

How better to land a big fish in UFA than by using his fishing buddy?

Adding another decent sized fish in UFA is just a nice extra bonus.

EDIT: Forgot to address your actual comment, but yes. Alberta and nearby areas are fantastic for fishing vs the big cities of LA and NY. Vancouver is also great for deep sea fishing.

Lindy is a beauty. Really, he’s really handsome.

 

[MakeCgyGreatAgain]

That's all he does, from my understanding.

That’s good enough for me. With Janko and Reider gone than hurts the PK more than anything.

Should be a good replacement for 4th line and PK for those two guys

From what it seems like (I haven't watched him myself), there seems to be some agreement from others who have watched him that he's kinda like a Hathaway type. At least in the same vein. Hard working, physical and fast enough, chip in a few points and defensively responsible type of lunch box type dude.

If he is as described, he is on par to Janko and Reider on the PK if not an upgrade on them from last season due to more dimensions in his game.

 

[InfinityIggy]

Sounding more and more like we have 'GM Lindholm' between this and Markstrom lol.

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

He also played with Noah and Ryan. Played WJ’s here.

 

[Khrox]

'GM Lindholm'

Move over GM Jack Eichel, best player/GM Elias Lindholm is in the house

I'd bang lol

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

I'd bang lol

Well yeah.

The Bruins took it to Game 7 in 2019. Nordstrom played 23 games of solid playoff hockey. I am not sure what he has left in the tank, though.

As long as there are a few Flames shooting out at the right time, hope he fits and contributes.

Anyone (almost) making 700 G's for a year would love Calgary, especially being able to leave regularly and come back. Never mind high 4-mils. He better be happy, eh!

I'm not saying I'm gay but if I was...
