[Signing] Flames sign Brian McGrattan (2 yrs, 750k AAV)

[Southside]

Excellent! Welcome news.

[Mango]

Fantastic news! He's a class act and will do anything to help this team. Kudos to Feaster for getting this done.

[Bertuzzied]

He will never leave Hanowski in the locker room alone! Make him a captain!

[Calgary4LIfe]

Great news. I was on pins and needles waiting for this to happen. Love what he brings. He made the Flames skate around like they were 2 inches taller.

I guess now after acquiring a bunch of guys, the team average is actually 6'4".

[MisterJoji]

See you Tim Jackman. He was great in his 1st year here, but having McGrattan back makes him told expendable. Waiver bound (not for compliance buy out)?

Happy the big fella will be back with us!

Love this guy as much for his toughness, as I do for he can lead the kids by example in what it takes to be on an NHL team. No one understands the commitment more than an enforcer.

[Pierre "Monster" McGuire]

Great signing. Glad to have him aboard... again.

Good to have Brian McGratton patrolling the ice for the Flames.

[keratosis]

Nice. Like this deal.

[Vulcan]

Wait, wasn't the argument here last summer that tough guys were no longer needed in the new NHL.

That was only ricardow. Everyone here seems to generalize opinions too much as consensus.

Feaster putting together the goon squad. I like this image. Fast skilled players mixed with big bruisers. Europeans and Canadians combine.

Maybe Brian's influence will rub off?

I don't remember who posted it, and I'm too lazy to try and find it, but it was said that this team is beginning to resemble the 2003-2004 squad, and I am forced to agree. !AND! I like it. I like it a lot!

Though Ramo is unproven he's Finnish and about the same age Kipper was. I've only got my gut feeling but I think he's virtually a lock to be like Kipper was back then! Whoohooo let's go!

Tough guy to protect the kids, one of the better fighters in the league and he can actually play an honest shift/game. What's not to like.
