Probably my favorite free agent signing the Flames ever made. Totally out of nowhere.

Hamrlik was 3.5 per year for 2 years. Back in the day where the best place for Free Agent signings was the NHLPA website as it was usually the first place that got updated. I seem to remember Sutter saying he could have got him for 4 at that figure, but as the cap jumped up a lot the next two years Hamrlik ended up getting 5.5 in Montreal.
He was a really good signing though and was a good partner for Dion Phaneuf those first two seasons.
When the Flames acquired Roman Horak in the Tom trade...at first I thought it was Hamrlik and I think it was about the same time they had signed Wideman and I was thinking how are they going to fit these guys under cap.
