Sounds like Gudbranson is BFF with Tanev and good buddies with Markstrom based on his Fan 960 interview. At the very least there will be some familiarity with some teammates and he should be a good locker room fit.

Not thrilled with the signing, but at least nobody can say the Flames don't have an identity. With Sutter having a hand in some of the changes it can be said the Flames identity will be big, tough and in your face.

Whether that translates to on-ice success remains to be seen. But at least now the Flames DO have an identity.
