The great: Signing Markstrom is a win. Can’t think of snorers available goalie I would have preferred.
The ok: Tanev will be a nice addition but Flames overpaid in term and $. Little to no doubt that this is a player we’ll be looking at in 2 years and wondering how he can be traded to free up needed cap space. Like pretty much every other 30+ UFA signing this club has made in last few years.
The bad:There seemed to be lots of value in IFA’s this year and Flames to this point, unable to take advantage. This team needs more players who are capable of our performing their contracts.
So I guess about a B. An A and a C signing, but the A is a bigger deal. Maybe end up a B minus if Flames don’t figure out a way to add some value.
