I actually wonder why Tom wasn't picked up by the Oilers. Wouldn't have cost them a pick, can PK, does drop them (though often loses), but is one heck of a competitor. I can't ever really remember him taking a shift off. He had a motor.
Really great to see him being picked up, even if he does end up in the AHL. I didn't think too much of him before the Flames acquired him, but boy did he have compete in him. I also liked the fact he barked at the fan who through the jersey on the ice.
