Two years under 1M is perfect. He can get a deserved raise with a better portfolio to fall back on, and the Flames don't have to deal with the cap nightmare until Wideman/Smid/Engelland/Raymond/Bollig are off the books.

Love this. Two year term is perfect for the Flames. Ferland probably wanted one year, which was the reason for the hold up.

Better bring it with a one-way contract.

One way is a bit of a surprise. He really did step it up in the playoffs but he wasn't that great in his regular seasons games.

I'm not against it. Just surprised.

There's no point in a 2 way. He has to clear waiviers to be sent down, and he would absolutely be claimed.

Yeah, could be that was the sticking point between him and the Flames. Maybe he took less to get that one way too.

Not too worried about Ferland bringing it though. I've never been a huge fan of his as a prospect, especially after having to go back to junior as an over aged player, but he's answered a lot of question last season.

When someone tells Ferland he needs to bring it, I believe he replies, oh it has be brought.

Despite the lack of production, I thought he was pretty solid in November and March. He was in the AHL the rest of the year, where he probably should have been more noticible though.

If true, another fair signing by BT for both player and club.

It's hard not to speculate what happened behind the scenes, but I wish the deal was done a while ago. Optics.

This is good.

If Ferland does well, the Flames wait a little longer to give him a raise.

Could be very important for the 16/17 season.
