Everyone please help me welcome @spencerfoo to the #CofRed

Looks like Johnny is salivating to play with some skill on the right side

He got out of Edmonton to play college.

Would never go back to that scumhole.

The salty oiler tears really bring out the flavour of this dish.

Someone tell me how excited to be. I'm glad we basically got a free prospect that's ready to play, but does anyone know roughly what his ceiling is?

Very similar to Versteeg last year (Edmonton never guaranteed him a spot). Had they have, they would have signed him but in both cases they didn't so both players signed with the Flames.
From a pretty reliable source , Detroit guaranteed a spot.

Flames did not.

Wonder if he will get a look with Johnny and Mony in camp?

So Chiasson is probably not back now with this signing then. I'm fine with the upgrade in talent.

I doubt Versteeg is back either.

Anyone think that Foo gets a shot at the top line? Perhaps alongside Bennett? Maybe with Backlund and Frolik? Which lineup do you like better?

1) Gaudreau-Monahan-Foo
Tkachuk-Backlund-Frolik
Ferland-Bennett-Brouwer
Bouma-Stajan-Lazar

2) Gaudreau-Monahan-Ferland
Tkachuk-Backlund-Frolik
Lazar-Bennett-Foo
Bouma-Stajan-Brouwer

3) Gaudreau-Monahan-Tkachuk
Frolik-Backlund-Foo
Ferland-Bennett-Lazar
Bouma-Stajan-Brouwer

Softens the blow of trading those picks for Hamonic and such. Free prospects! Very nice offseason so far for the Flames.

We have no idea how Foo will even translate to the NHL. Start him in the A.
