Hopefully he left a LOT of money on the table. Anything more than a 2.5 million AAV is a rip-off.

I heard it's for 2,500,001.

Sounds like Flames fans will get
frustrated at his usage.

He won't be replacing Backlund or Monahan, so I'm not too concerned in that regard. If he can put up 30-35 points in our bottom 6, I'm ok with around 2.5 million. 3 million + is an overpay no matter how you look at it.

I await the over payment.

I don't think he quite the overuse he did in Carolina with the Flames, but if he takes away ice-time from Bennett and Janko, holy f*** I'll be pissed off.

Well, he is an ok 3C or a very good 4C. Hopefully the Flames payed him as such.

My guess is he's Jankowski's winger and takes the face-offs.

Just hoping it's under 2.5M. 3 years is a long time

Not sure if Stauffer is speculating here, but he does seem to have a connection with Ryan from his Golden Bear days.

Czarnik is a good move.

Ryan. Sure. We overpaid. But we needed another good C for our bottom 6. That was obvious.

If this is all we do in FA I’m more than happy

I like both those guys for Calgary, doesn’t take away from the youth having a chance to come up and play.

I mean unless Ryan is going to be a RW taking faceoffs on Janks weak side, this means that Jank going to be a winger instead. Hope they keep him at center, but I don't think its happening with this signing.

Well if the Leafs do not sign Tavares, they’re ****ed.

It’s two pretty good deals for Calgary btw.
That’s a bit of an exaggeration. You guys have a great core and I honestly think would be better off without him based on his age.
Bill Peters is getting close to bringing half of Carolina with him to Calgary. Gonna be interesting.

Hmmm a bit odd that we would sign two C... maybe worth keeping an eye on if the Flames move Bennett or Jankowski.

Bennett isn't going to be a center even without these signings...

Really not happy if Jank gets moved to the wing, especially with the amount of time the organization as put into developing him.
