Glad he can only sign a 2 year. Like other posters have already mentioned, I also think that Cervenka could have benefited from an additional year and would have solidified himself as an NHL'er. Gives Pribyl 2 years to adjust to North America, learn the systems and hopefully get some chemistry going with some players on the team.
Also, I would bet that he ends up on the top line at some point. Not that I think he will be a very good scorer or not, but simply because the Flames have rotated Jones, Hudler, Ferland, Colborne, Shinkaruk, Bollig and I am sure I am forgetting a few others on the line. Nobody (outside of Hudler, who is no longer here) have really fit in very well on that line, so I expect Pribyl to get a look at least.
He really fills a few needs on the team, so really hoping it works out.
