Brad Thiessen was the best goalie in the AHL playoffs this past season. He was an absolute monster. He's going to be such a solid backup playing 1/3 of the games.
I want to see the Flames sign Carr to a one-year two-way deal and put him in Alaska for the season. Bring him up only in case of an injury to Ortio or Thiessen.
As for Acolatse, I don't know much about him since the Heat never ever played Worcester. I just remember him being a real a-hole against the Flames prospects during the Penticton tourny several years back. There won't be a whole lot of toughness on Addy's blueline. Just Sieloff and Acolatse so far. Wotherspoon can be mean if he needs to be.
A couple of solid pickups.
