What do you guys think of Colton Sissons? Assuming the Flames are looking to solidify the bottom 6 C position, and a Rooney replacement in particular.
At first glance, he's 31, and slightly overpaid at $2.86M for another season after this one. That's also why I think the acquisition cost would be pretty negligible. He's pretty fast, a right hand shot, and he's good at faceoffs. He struggled this year like most of the Preds, and has a pdo of 950. He has been the first forward over the boards for NSH's PK, that's ranked 6th in the NHL at 82.6%.
I was thinking he could be a Stajan/Ryan type 4th line C for the Flames. He will be overpaid for the job, but similar to Lomberg his contract would expire at the end of next year, and he would address some of the Flames' biggest weaknesses this season.
PS: Hopefully Kerins exceeds expectations in the 4C role, and we don't need to bring in someone like Sissons.
