Hopefully the knee injury won't slow him down to begin the season.

Agreed. Sure, he's not physical in that he may not run around looking for guys to hit but he looks like guys bounce off him and he's very hard to move off the puck a la Jagr. Not saying he is going to be Jagr by any means, just that having a guy with the kind of puckhandling skills he shows in his highlights and is hard to move off the puck is a very very useful player for the Flames right now. Excited to see what he can do in the NHL. He looks like a really good fit for what we need right now.
