This signing definitely makes the Flames faster. I think that if he plays on a line with Gaudreau then the Flames have a very fast transition line. It would create a lot more odd man rushes. I think the Flames really need D that would be able to find the likes of Gaudreau/Coleman/Dube with quick/good passes to counter attack with speed.
I have no idea how this contract ages, but it's hard to be too optimistic about the last 2 years on the deal.
