The Flames probably saw his impressive showing in the CP Prospect Rankings and rushed to get things done.

Good news. Looking ahead, does anyone know if he will be RFA or UFA after the 2 years is up?

RFA as he will be under 27 when this contract expires.

Holy crap! A goalie we drafted. Let play. And THEN signed?

Will be tough cause I want to see all our goalies succeed, but in these next 2 season someone is bound to rise and someone will fall. I'd like to see Ortio become the guy for our future but Ramo would be great too. Then I really like Hiller too, but he is getting older and realistically may just be a stopgap for us. Perhaps he can be re-signed as a backup after his current contract? And then soon Gillies will be knocking on the door, and I like him as well.

This is a great problem to have. I have a feeling we see an Anaheim situation soon, where Ortio and Gillies start playing better than Ramo.

"left to sign" may be too strong a statement.

The Flames qualified him, so they must have interest in signing him.

Perhaps the are looking to to trade his rights somewhere.
