I am just curious what the AAV would be for Maroon. Other than that, I don't worry about how he will fit on the Flames.
What I don't think, however, is that he is going to be some kind of a deterrent for the Flames. He is a rough and tumble guy, but I don't think people are afraid of fighting him.
What he does bring is a nice set of hands and a good brain. He can work with top players. He is a strong complimentary player - nothing wrong with that. He also goes to the net hard and makes life for the opposing goalies miserable. That's a GLARING hole for the Flames. Between him and Tkachuk, that opposing net would become a whole lot unfriendlier.
Again, for me it all comes down to term and dollars, but from a purely 'how does he fit' standpoint, I think he fits extremely well.
