The Calgary Flames announced today that they have signed defenceman Matt Bartkowski to a two-year, two-way contract which runs through the end of the 2017-18 season.

Bartkowski has spent the 2016-17 season with the Providence Bruins of the American Hockey League where he has 10 points (2G, 8A) in 34 games. The Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania native played for the Vancouver Canucks in 2015-16 after spending five years in the Bruins organization split between the NHL and AHL.

In total, Bartkowski has skated in 211 NHL games and has 42 points (6G, 36A) and 127 penalty minutes. The 28-year-old has also played in 15 playoff games where he has a goal, two assists and 14 penalty minutes. He was a seventh round pick (190th overall) by the Florida Panthers in the 2008 NHL Draft.

Yeah, Bart, Khokhlachev, and a 1st for Iginla was the offer Chiarelli/Feaster agreed to.

yes he was supposed to be part of return from the Bruins for Iginla

last NHL team was the Canucks where he didn't do so well, so likely Gulutzan had a hand in this.

If it was for Stockton he would be in Stockton.

as for now, it looks like they are going to try this instead of adding a rental at the deadline

Is he eligible for the expansion draft?

Otherwise, I don't like this. I guess it's no risk, but if he gets into games and costs the Flames, then I really won't like it.

good point. because he played 80 games last season for the Canucks he will satisfy the expansion draft requirement IF he is signed for next season like it is being reported

He has played about 150 games in NHL, maybe he can push the D prospects a little harder i.e. more competition.

Or might he backfill Engelland is he is traded.

How does it go from a PTO to signed all of next season, without actually seeing him in action?

Pretty shrewd move if he covers the requirement of NHL d-man signed that can be exposed.
