Guaranteed this guy only plays for BoA's

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

Totally fine with this. For a 13th forward and 4th liber, you cant ask for much more.

I think BT has the scoring leader chart upside down when he did these signings.

Rinaldo can skate very well, he’s a decent defensive player to. He will also take a run at anyone, the oppositions top players or their tough guys. He understands his role and he’s good at it. His issue has always been walking the line. I’m fine with having Rinaldo as a guy to insert on our 4th when needed.

 

[InfinityIggy]

It’s a 2-way so no harm I guess. So long as we use him very sparingly...

 

[Anglesmith]

I like it. He's essentially a better Ryan Lomberg.

 

[crazyfisherman]

Better than hearing we signed amac

[DFF]

Oilers may steal him LOL

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

This is shocking, shocking. According to other fans we were signing him for more than just adding depth.

I just want us to start a Lucic - Tkachuk - Rinaldo line against Tortorella once in a game against the Jackets, I'm feeling nostalgic

Bennett and Lomberg on defense

Flames must be desperate to find players to fill out their Stockton roster..... because frankly I just don't see a spot for him in Calgary... not unless the Flames incur a huge rash of injuries and then recalling Rinaldo will likely be the least of their problems.

They'll call him up when Monahan goes on his annual slump in Feb and Johnny feels a bit intimidated in the playoff.

Or put him with Janko and their line might play like they have a set between them.

He's just a Peluso replacement.
