Excellent signing value. Way to go BT. I assume we turn our full focus to Matty now, as Mangia maybe gets 1.5M at most.

 

[Unlimited Chequing]

Wow that's a good deal

 

[Boomstick]

Awesome.

 

[Tkachuk Norris]

Niceeeeee.

 

[DFF]

BT is a bully to his own players but when it comes to UFA, he is Santa

Expect Tkachuk to sign at 6.5 or sit now

 

[Lunatik]

I was expecting 3 x 3-3,5, this is a pretty solid deal for us.

 

[Zirakzigil]

Was expecting low 3s for him. Sold deal.

 

[Kahvi]

nice deal

 

[Ace Rimmer]

Not bad. Not too bad at all.

 

[InfinityIggy]

Teld you guys he wouldn’t get over 3. Nice signing.

 

[super6646]

Lower end of what I was expecting. Good deal.

 

[Tkachuk Norris]

How much did Koskinen get again?

How much did Koskinen get again?

I can't remember the dollar amount, but he did cost a guy his job

Good signing. Flames now have 4.6M in cap space left. If they buy out Stone add another 2.3. That would give them 6.9 with two players to sign. Cap friendly is showing Quine (735k) and Gillies (750k) on the roster so 1.4M t could be saved by assigning them to the AHL (waiver eligible). So...if Chucky signs for 6.9 and Mangy for 1M-ish, the Flames would have a slight buffer going into next season.

I don't know why so many think Quine won't be on the team out of camp. He was very good for us last year and he would make a great 13/14 forward as he is versatile and it prevents a developing player from sitting in the pressbox.

 

[Nanuuk]

I never said that he wouldn't be. It is an option for Treliving that allows him to continue with the status quo should they desire it. Assuming Tkachuk signs a team friendly contract, the Flames could carry Brodie and Frolik until such time that could garner fair value back in a trade. And the same Flames team (for the most part) could be iced to complete unfinished business.

Now that Rittich has signed a contract without going through the arbitration process, is the 2nd buyout window still open and if it is does anyone know when it closes for the Flames?

Great contract Tre! Another home run.

Yes it is still open (I believe it opens Monday for us). No idea when it closes though, I think 7 days?


Also, I could be wrong, but this contract makes Rittich the longest tenured goaltender since Kipper (assuming he plays it out here)

Buyout window opens Tuesday for 48 hours

Buyout window opens Tuesday for 48 hours

So if Stone's contract gets bought out it will happen by Thursday but not before Tuesday. Good to know.

 

[Calculon]

Excellent signing.

If they plan buying out Stone they will put him on waivers on Sunday or Monday b4 the buyout window.

Ahead of arbitration. Great deal for the Flames.

Fantastic! (Hopefully) Very decent to "great" goaltending for next year at well under 6 mil! Thanks Rittich for Not breaking the bank, Not holding out. Seeing the opportunity for you with this group we can push further into the playoffs toward ye'ole Stanley! Great news this season.
Focus now on how do we get MTkacher locked up!! And Mangee.
