Flames will like him - high motor great in his own end. Won’t put up many points but great on the PK.

Flames fans will like his effort 5 on 5 and especially on the PK. The guy blocks shots and does not think twice about it. Great forechecker and lays more hits then you would assume. Sure he is not a pt producer but 4th liners are not there for that. You want them to hustle, hit and forecheck the other lines and break even. He is actually a good passer but not a finisher. Kuraly and Wagner are the same so those three trying to score was never going to add to anyone's point totals. For a league minimum you got a classy player that never takes a shift off.

Seems kinda weird, why didn't the Bruins keep him for that amount?

I mean he's UFA, so he gets to pick where he goes.
He gets to play with his best buddies off the ice in Calgary, along with another 3 Swedes I'm sure he knows

Any FA 3rd pairing Right Shot Swedes available? If so, I'm sure Brad's already talking to them.

I'm getting Garnet Hathaway vibes based on what I am reading about Nordstrom.

Nice Jankowski upgrade from the sounds of it.

He definitely improved from his Hawks days.

Back then he was a high effort/zero result player.

I was thinking a bit further back & Marcus Nilson. But yes, these are the guys you need on the 4th line.

Perfect comparison based on my viewings.

And didn't the players call him lunchbox, or am I thinking of Yelle...no Yelle was sandbox, lol

Isn't making enough money from his stores?

Who Is Mike Jones?

Cant go wrong at that price. It’s like getting a $0.99 taco. Who cares what’s in the taco.
