Don't know anything about him. Will wait for someone to post a Tre-Wizard meme or Simpsons angry mob gif before forming an opinion.

Minor league salary is $375k with $400k guaranteed. Usually indicates that there was significant interest in this guy as a depth player.

ffs. It's just a depth signing for the right side, for crying out loud. There's nothing wrong with it at all. The negativity is tedious.

On a 2 way contract players earn different salaries depending on which league they play.

If his NHL+AHL earnings are less than $400k at the end of the season, the Flames will top off his payment until he is at $400k thus guaranteed salary.
