Seems like kind of a dumb rule.

He scored almost all of his goals after December 1st. Maybe he is one of those guys that just all of a sudden got it. He is a very good player but compared to all of the Hitmen I have seen over the years he just doesn't seem like a special player. For example IMO Adam Tambellini > Matteo Gennaro.

He's still eligible as a overager this year? I think I'd rather use a 7th rounder and get his rights for two years then commit a contract spot to him for the next 3 or four years. And probably better options with the 7th rounder. But as someone who has said for years that the Flames should have a Hitmen alumni on the roster at all times..................Yes, I would sign him. He will 100% be cut the day before the Hitmens first game and play the season as an overager though.
