I agree, but that doesn't mean I didn't expect him to get more.

Definitely a fine contract for this team.

He's got one... #1RW on the Wranglers. He doesn't require waivers yet and could probably use another year in the AHL.

They're signed. They're on the roster. They play a role neither Pelletier or Coronato can play. Or are you suggesting that Ronney is going to center Pelletier and Coronato? Wouldn't seem like a good way to use a talented player nor give them opportunity to "prove themselves" as you stated earlier. Something has to give and hopefully it's through a trade. We have too many bodies to provide development opportunities.

What a beauty

Honestly I expect a 4L of Lomberg-Rooney-Mantha by November.

Great signing. I hope he runs Nurse through the end boards.

You mean the Oilers faces

[bigrangy]

Not Rooney hopefully. There’s more watchable options available.

I love this. Any player that has a high GAF meter is good with me. If you're going to be a bad team at least make it tough on other teams.

Definitely

Will it help the development of the young guys?

Development of them? His unstoppable motor is a great lesson for all young players.

I don't see any benefits

grit (protect the kids)
energy
entertaining

will return us an asset when traded at the deadline

question for you: what is the downside?

[dino7c]

It makes the Flames better IMO, he plays his ass off...its contagious
