I'm happy about this.

 

[Anglesmith]

Gooood.

 

[Johnny GODreau]

Nice

 

[DCDM]

Me like.

 

[Wayne Primeau]

Yes!

Posted it on the main thread.

 

[InfinityIggy]

Sweet. Glad to have him back.

 

[StreakingRed]

Glad it's finally done. Surprised it's just a 1 year deal, though.

It was only going to be a 1 year deal.
He wants the arbitration option next year.

 

[Beats By CoRD]

Was expected. Glad to have him for at least another year. Guy is a freakin shot blocking savage.

 

[Guido Sarducci]

Beauty. Next give him a letter. And eventually a key to the city.

I say that this is the season he establishes himself as more than a 4th liner.

Lance Bouma Signing

I hope they gave Bouma a raise from the $577,500 he earned last season. Kevin Westgarth made more than that last season. ($725,000)

I would have thought that the Flames would have given Bouma a 2 year deal as he's earned it with his good play last season. Is it even a one way deal? Didn't say on the Flames site.

Hope this isn't a case of Brad Treliving being cheap to a good player like Bouma.

My guess is that the term was Lance's idea, not management's.

Seems odd that the Flames didn't release more details on this signing.

That's how Treliving prefers it, all of his signings have been announced this way. Not that it matters - we'll find out eventually.

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

I'm gonna guess, 1-year at 925k. Glad he's under contract!

 

[InfinityIggy]

I'm gonna guess, 1-year at 925k. Glad he's under contract!

Not to one up you, but I am going to guess 975k.

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

Not to one up you, but I am going to guess 975k.

We shall see who is right.

It's going to be 950k

 

[Taranis]

Glad hes signed up, but I wish we would have got at least a three year contract given his play this last year.

 

[Anglesmith]

Not to one up you, but I am going to guess 975k.

$975001, Bob.

 

[CraigsList]

$999,999

Management: "Lance you were one block short of 1m"
Lance: "Damn it."

 

[Calculon]

It's good that he's signed but it should have been a three year deal.

 

[MonahanTheMan]

Awesome signing, I think he will end up being our fourth-line centre this year since he originally started at that position and Bollig is more accustomed to being a LW than C.

 

[HighLifeMan]

I can honestly see Lance becoming a consistent 10-15 goal scorer at the NHL level. He had so many high end opportunities last season solely because of his non stop motor. Bouma is the very definition of a "heart and soul" type player.

He might just be my favorite current flame.

1 year 5 mill, book it.
