This pleases me on two levels.
1. Good for the Flames.
2. He didn't go here.

EDMONTON - When you look at the Edmonton Oilers roster, it’s easy to see they need to upgrade their defence, add some speed and grit in their bottom six and find some size, especially down the middle.
When you scan the pending NHL free-agent list, not many names jump out as automatic upgrades. It would be great to sign Jarome Iginla, Nathan Horton or David Clarkson, but the bidding for those three will be fierce and steep.
Oilers general manager Craig MacTavish has already stated he’s leery of overspending in free agency, so he’ll tread lightly in the free-agent waters.
One player that few are talking about is pending free agent Corban Knight. Don’t bother scanning the free-agent list because he isn’t on it. The Florida Panthers drafted him in the fifth round (139th) of the 2009 entry draft, but he’s spent the past four seasons developing his game at the University of North Dakota.
“I’m a two-way centreman who takes pride in both ends of the ice, but I take a lot of pride in the defensive zone,” the six-foot-two, 195-pound centreman said when asked to describe his game.
