I've always been concerned with the Flames ability to sign picks that play at US colleges with options of returning for another year in college and having the freedom to sign with any other NHL team as a result, so this is excellent news.
Seravalli mentioned that during the 48 hours after Suniev's season ended, it sounded like Conroy and the Flames were only 50/50 that they'd be able to get him to sign, so it sounds like it was definitely close! Glad they got it done!
