Billins will be the best D-man on the Heat (especially if Cundari sticks with the Flames) and will likely get some games with the Flames.

Love the fact that he was an important d-man on the Calder Cup team and was not signed by the Wings and on the Wings affiliate..... He had to be a lot better than the Wings contracted prospects to earn the ice time.

Important year for him Billins to break into the NHL as Wootherspoon and Ramage go through their first pro season and will likely be better prepared to make the jump next year.

He picked the Flames as he could have signed anywhere and the Flames figured he was worth a $92,500 signing bonus and a 925K .

Same sort of contract as Ramage and Wootherspoon. Except he is a RFA next year.

A better contract for Billins than Cundari, Breen and Bouma..
