The organization loves having guys on two-way deals who can provide a physical element in Stockton. That's a very different league with a lot of fighting, even still.
Peluso, Glass, and Gazdic come to mind. With only 41 contracts on the books at the moment, the Flames have a fair amount of room to sign some depth guys like these, although they still have to be conscious of Tkachuk/Mangiapane and trade deadline flexibility.
Rieder is a good PKer. I'd be interested to see how he's utilized in the pre-season -- i wonder if they think he might be able to take on some of Hathaway's old responsibility when down a man.
