Ritchie got an extra 200k knowing the Flames need to sign someone for expansion. Luckily the whole cap hit can be buried

Managed to get it done before Saturday. Go figure.

Here come all the posts not understanding the Flames still had to sign 1 more forward to fit the expansion draft requirements

I liked what Ritchie brought. I'm happy with him as a 12th/13th forward

No surprise. I complained about him playing on the 2nd line but had no complaints about him playing on the 4th line, so as long as the players are slotted correctly this season then this works just fine for me.

He's big, skates pretty well, finishes checks, he's tough, and seems like the players like him.

Okay, now people can stop including Backlund in their exposure lists.

An extra $150,000. The league minimum salary goes up to $750,000 next season.

Good. I like what Ritchie brings to this team. He will also fit well with Sutters system.

I'm okay with him as a 4th line/pressbox player.

The signing basically everyone knew was likely going to happen because of the exposure list.

Can't argue with this one. Darryl seems to like him.
