Anyway I think it's kind of cool that the Flames are doing well enough that they can pay for 2 tough guys in the AHL on 1-way deals [which means Abby doesn't pay jack].

Leblond 550k [Cap hit 525k]
Ivanans 600k

Both in the final year of multi-year deals [2 for Leblond and 3 for Ivanans]

That's 2 roster spots and 1.15k [1.125k in cap hit] in salary buried in the minors. Certainly wouldn't be possible even 15 years ago with the dollar situation.

Personally, I'd prefer both Ivanans and Leblond up as 13th and 14th roster spots since they're one way and this team has 14 one-way deals, but that's just me. I like toughness but it seems to be disappearing this year [Jackman's a middleweight so don't give me that].
Yeah, I didn't actually see the play where Ivanans scored, only listened to it on the radio and Pinder said it deflected off his knee.

I agree with you about the two tough guys playing on the fourth line. I was skeptical at first because I thought they'd be a defensive liability, but that hasn't been the case. In fact, they've been awesome at shifting momentum through their physical play and evidently chipping in a few goals haha.
