Flames entered UFA with a boatload of cap space but several gaps in our roster.
We were able to sign the following players:
Alex Pietrangelo - 6.55M x 3 years
Adam Lowry - 3.51M x 3 years
Jordan Eberle - 3.51M x 3 years
Tyler Myers 2.57M x 3 years
Trevor Van Riemsdyk - 2.05M x 3 years
Frederick Gaudreau - 1.32M x 3 years
Overall we were thrilled to add AP, Lowry and Eberle especially. All at 3 year deals that are very palatable for the long term. Eberle was almost signed prior to UFA so was happy to add him at a lower rate then required by grid.
The depth players also come in and per year values should be reasonable moving forward. Special mention to Cody Ceci who was signed and then dealt in the larger package to get Eriksson Ek.
